I want to stress again, these soldiers need relief now, people. If you go into Walter Reed and say, ``Don't you worry, this bureaucracy, we are going to fix,'' I can tell you if you are going to fix a bureaucracy where the computers don't talk to one another, you are going to be fixing that for years to come. We have got to be able to say, it seems to me, before we go on April 2 to spring break, this we have done. I anticipate you will see some of it in the Defense supplemental. Some of it will be money. Some of it will be language. I say that without even knowing, but I know how concerned the Congress is. And I really want to bring the ultimate analogy here, and that is to say, remember Vietnam and the Vietnam veteran. How many Vietnam veterans are homeless today, feel the terrible neglect of that war?
