He argues veterans face drastic benefit cuts within the DoD budget while welfare fraud and political salary protections persist, urging parity in cuts and accountability across government roles. He laments veterans’ delays and denials at the VA and honors those few reform-minded lawmakers as modern Mr Smiths.
