Mike Michaud: “I don't care how big the increase it is within the VA budget, is are we taking care of our veterans?”

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.

We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.

As a veteran, I don't feel like I needed to be rebooted, because I am concerned that word by itself may detract somewhat from the decision that our young men and women are making to serve their country.
