Jon Runyan: “Mismanagement and little oversight have no place in the administration of these benefits, especially dealing with those…”

We have got to remember that these numbers represent real veterans, real people, and so let us look at that from that standpoint.

However, we can't simply apply the principle of one-size-fits-all approach to the claims.

The men and women that we are discussing today fought on behalf of our Nation and they should receive the same benefit of the doubt that U.S. servicemembers receive when they are asking for benefits that they earned.

I hope that we can put to rest any notion that the Department of Defense is withholding information that could positively impact these veterans' claims.
