I know this is a dupe-but I like the opening sentence and captions for the story (caps are mine)

Injured Vets and the VA Head to Court

An Overburned V.A. Hospital System Goes on Trial in San Francisco


SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- One of the most important trials ever involving America's veterans began today in San Francisco federal court.

Two veterans groups are suing the government to improve the treatment of vets suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Those suing the US Department of Veterans Affairs say are in San Francisco to prove that the system is broken, and they say is in need of repair.

In San Francisco's federal courthouse, the treatment of veterans with mental and stress illnesses is being closely examined.

Paul Sullivan is with Veterans for Common Sense, one of the plaintiffs in this case.

"We want the veterans to be encouraged to go to V.A. if they have any problems and we want V.A. to be ready, willing and able to help the vets when they show up," said Paul Sullivan from Veterans for Common Sense.
