I don’t mean to be an a$$, but you know there is a difference between the DoD and the VA. Right?

Are you sure you understand the proximate cause of this?
Yes the VA is not the DoD.

Although in the eyes of congress their funding gets lumped together, ie big requirements for the VA can detract from what's available for DoD, practically speaking. So defense planners need to consider the fiscal impact on future DoD sustainemnt before commiting ground forces in foriegn wars. Although the Pols tend not to listen or care.
