Within the transition process, wherever that happens....
There are some joint personnel support units that are being restructured. There are units that do provide assistance for people in transition, and that's where it should begin.
I would like to stress this: what is it that we want for our veterans? If we want financial security, how much do we want and what is the outcome we want to achieve? We need some benchmarks that we can measure to see whether we're accomplishing what we set out to do or not. I think that's what's lacking right now. There is no outcome, but a lot of programs and benefits are offered. We had a good example a while ago with a $70,000 benefit for critical injury. Where does the $70,000 come from? What is the outcome we want to achieve? There was no outcome there.
Is it because we want people to be able to get through a period of time when their family is affected and they have to adjust to a new lifestyle? If that's the outcome we want to achieve, is it enough? These types of approaches for our veterans need to be discussed in the future, and not by just arbitrarily putting money into a certain program.
