Joe Manchin actually said...

"When someone signs up to serve our country in the military, we make them a simple promise that if they serve us we will serve them."

"I have always said that the military and our veterans is what holds our country together."

"We have made progress, expediting the presumptive process, reevaluating the cumbersome model VA has traditionally used."

"If they are not correlated--I know you had that ability in your previous job."
