It's politics. We listen to a person who knows someone else in the government, because we think that the person must be credible. So we listen to this person, who isn't credible at all, and who is even making things worse for veterans instead of better.
In reality, 80% of the members of our organizations, perhaps even more, aren't doing this work for the right reasons. These members aren't doing this to help our fellow soldiers and get them out of the trenches, so to speak. I get my fellow soldiers out of the trenches. Others leave them there and only want their money's worth. These members tell the soldiers that, if they want a dog, they must pay a certain amount, that Assistance Dogs International is there, and so on. I'm sorry, but it doesn't work. There are hold‑ups everywhere and this must stop.
