Here is more Proof Replugs Budget cuts VA Centers can't keep up
Edited on Wed Oct-18-06 09:23 PM by Monkeyman
This Replug lying piece of crap and his failure to increase staffing for vet centers has put their capacity to meet the needs of veterans at RISK! Anger is just the tip for me

A network of community-based walk-in veterans' treatment centers is under increasing pressure as more and more former troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have come looking for help.
A report to be issued Thursday from the House Veterans Affairs Committee's Democratic staff says that nearly a third of all Vet Centers have seen the demand rise for outreach and other services.

The Report surveyed 60 of the 207 Vet Centers operated by the VA. It found that the number of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who have sought help for post-traumatic st-rees disorder (PTSD) doubled-from nearly 4,500 to more than 9,000 from Oct. 2005 through June 2006.
