This analysis, spotted by Joe Average Vet and sent to me, is an in-depth, cogent assessment of what is wrong. As a noted carpenter once observed “To a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. To the VA, every claim is the same. The process for deciding them has been flawed for almost a century and the remuneration criteria is pegged at 1945 levels.

We cannot expect change when the powers invested in changing it cling to an antiquated, unworkable tenet. Another report from the Army Times plows the same ground we are already all too familiar with.  Time for a new approach to hammers.
