I really like what you're saying and I hope it comes to fruition. Clearly, these veterans—and there are a few of them behind you—are not being properly recognized. What we are hearing and what is being communicated is that there are two types of war. When you've been on the front lines, it's not easy to hear that. When you have suffered major injuries and set aside your family, it's not easy to hear that.
The committee held nine meetings on this topic for a total of more than 14 hours of testimony. The committee tried to invite all types of veterans. The veterans we heard from at committee were unanimous. Witnesses who participated in the Gulf War or who are familiar with it were unanimous about the fact that there was inequity between the two systems.
Do you agree that there is inequity between the two systems, especially when it comes to finances?
