In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!
At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
Especially for the Corporate and Wealthy Community, investors in Defense Industries, and for these, Afghanistan and Iraq, came Two Huge Tax Cuts, with more sweetheart deals to same from states and the fed!!
Thousands of people across America don’t just talk about honoring Veterans; they walk the walk. Dedicated Volunteers Serve Veterans for Decades
On this Executive Administration, it's Cabinet and those directly around same, "Best - Ever": "We haven't had this kind of visibility from the White House—ever." Joyce Raezer National Military Family Association - Dec. 30, 2011, and plenty more of similar since Joyce, others, spoke and continues!
Ask yourself: If the Veterans Administration is so corrupt and mismanaged, as the conservative ideology, under which the seeds of are planted when they control, wants everyone to buy into as they obstruct the budgets and do extremely little after they charge same, then why does the Private sector, many problems within rarely heard about, adopt so many practices and advanced technologies developed within the VA, for free?! The VA, DoD, and in partnership with Universities and Colleges, not just Health Care are constantly in R&D and that developed that works is quickly moved into the private, for profit, sector, even as the VA is long under funded, decades, and especially during and after our wars that the few are sent into!

President Obama 26 August 2014
Fact: "This is not just a job of government. It’s not just a job of the veterans’ organizations. Every American needs to join us in taking care of those who've taken care of us. Because only 1 percent of Americans may be fighting our wars, but 100 percent of Americans benefit from that 1 percent. A hundred percent need to be supporting our troops. A hundred percent need to be supporting our veterans. A hundred percent need to be supporting our military families."
Fact: "We’ve been able to accomplish historic increases to veterans funding. We’ve protected veterans health care from Washington politics with advanced appropriations. We’ve been able to make VA benefits available to more than 2 million veterans who didn't have them before, including more Vietnam vets who were exposed to Agent Orange. We’ve dedicated major new resources for mental health care. We’ve helped more than 1 million veterans and their families pursue their education under the Post-9/11 GI Bill."

Fact: "Unlike, P&G, VA may not be concerned about quarterly profit and loss statements or shareholder value, but it does have a bottom line—Veterans. "
{which is why No Government agency should be turned into a private corporate entity feeding for profit off the Countries duty and responsibility, especially the VA}

July 12, 2014 - Joining a group of federal officials, workforce representatives and private employers, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans Employment and Training Teresa Gerton provided an overview of VETS' activities to the National Governors' Association in Memphis, Tenn. The roundtable was held by the Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee at the NGA's annual meeting on July 12. Governors Terry Brandstad of Iowa, Jay Nixon of Missouri (the committee chair) and Brian Sandoval of Nevada asked questions and listened as participants discussed strategies for assisting veterans' transitions to civilian employment, including employer partnerships, certification and licensing portability, priority of service at American Jobs Centers, and training for in-demand occupations. Gerton spoke about the $1 billion in job-driven training grants that the department has funded in 2014, and urged governors to take advantage of these programs in their states.
Sandy Long served in the U.S. Navy as a mechanic maintaining F-18 fighter jets on the U.S.S. Independence, and when he left the Navy he held a series of customer service jobs. But one day Long found himself unemployed, and he sought out the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program, which is partially managed by the department. Long enrolled in technician training, yet still faced the challenge of finding work to feed his family. Disabled Veteran Outreach Program case manager Dan Ledgett in the Employment Security Department for the state of Washington came to his assistance. Career counseling by Ledgett, an Army veteran, included revamping Long's resume and targeting his job searches. This led to Long being hired as a maintenance worker at an RV park. That job, Long said, put his family "back on our feet." Ledgett said he helped Long realize "he is a valuable asset" whose skills and experience will lead him to success.
