Filner as VA chair critiques and aims for change
Rep. Bob Filner, new chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, promotes bigger VA budgets and full GI Bill benefits, while facing questions about his understanding of MGIB and his partisan record. He prioritizes education benefit reform and PTSD awareness, noting hundreds of Iraq era veterans may have died by suicide and calling for broader mental health resources.
