It's a matter of taking some and leaving some. Certain people will say that it's necessary and that it has changed their life. It's like with anything else. Some are happy, some aren't.
Even so, I think that we need to get input from our veteran members. If they're given the chance to provide input on what the organization should be and on what has helped them, they'll feel more involved.
In addition, you would have access to fair information from an ethical standpoint. Since the information would come from veterans, there wouldn't be any bias. The council formed would be able to decide, based on the veterans' recommendations, whether it's necessary to monitor a particular organization more closely.
