Eric Shinseki: “No veteran should have to wait for benefits and services we provide that they earned a long time ago.”

Joining forces has been a magnificent initiative--reaching out to the private sector for corporations to commit to hiring veterans.

If you don't like change, you'll like irrelevance even less.

We have hired--we have over 100,000 veterans as part of our workforce, fully 30 percent, and our goal is 40 percent.

I would just say, and here again, it is consistent with what the President has done elsewhere, and that is the desire to protect the vulnerable populations.
