Living in a World of Make Believe

The VA is not the ‘‘Happiest Place on Earth.’’ It is not Disneyland, and our veterans are not living in a world of make-believe.

Veterans should be allowed to get vouchers for private physicians. Next week we observe Memorial Day—honoring our warriors who died for America. We also will honor those who fought in far away distant lands just to come home and be a casualty of the VA’s incompetence.
