Elizabeth Esty: “It's a crime actually that we are not providing our veterans with a better ability to transition to civilian workforce.”

I want to thank Chairman Roe and Chairman Isakson and Ranking Members Tester and Walz, in particular for their efforts on the Blue Water Navy veterans.

I want to make sure that VA is using RAMP to inform the new system, and not as a means to disguise a true size of the appeals backlog.

Let me be clear. When the report on military sexual trauma came to my attention in August, I was disappointed and disturbed.

Again, I think we need clarity on this.
