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.
Not sure what a discussion of budget generation has anything to do with the fact that it is clear JohnBurke [MENTION=42456]JohnBurke[/MENTION] has no clue about the very basic facts of this discussion. Referring to the DoD and the VA synonymously
on more than one occasion demonstrates a total ignorance of what is actually being debated on his part. Kills any credibility he has for making even a good faith argument and it seems he simply wants to troll and argue to make himself feel better. I dont know why he would want to portray himself as such an antogonist to the thousands and thousands of verterans claiming VA disability based on the actions of a misicule percentage of the population. IDK, maybe he got kicked out of MEPS for acne or something; maybe a dude in the Army stole his girlfriend or took his lunch money?
