Jim Webb actually said...

I've heard that argument. I heard it when the Dole-Shalala Commission came in, and from my perspective, it's more akin to compensation from a tort claim or an injury, rather than fitting someone to a particular profession in an industrialized economy, other than the military profession.

Context

Webb critiques the compensation system for veterans, comparing it to tort claims rather than professional rehabilitation.
