Pete Buttigieg releases veterans, military personnel plan

[TexasTowelie]

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg unveiled his plan to improve the lives of veterans and those serving in the military on Monday, telling the Review-Journal it represents “my regard for what service means” and a way for the country to keep its promises to those who elected to serve.

“There are two things you get when you serve,” Buttigieg said. “One is all the fulfillment, the sense of purpose, the commitment that comes from being a part of something bigger than yourself.

“The second is a lot of experience navigating bureaucracy.”

The 21-page plan includes well-covered ground within the Democratic field, including increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs, simplifying the benefits process, improving access to vocational training and mental health services and ending the transgender military ban.
