" The Veterans Affairs Department seems to have a widespread indifference toward veterans with mental illness, U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Akaka and other Senate Democrats said yesterday.
Their comments came after the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, which Akaka chairs, heard a VA psychologist deny she was trying to save money when she suggested in an e-mail to her staff that they use other mental illness diagnoses for veterans who may have post-traumatic stress disorder.
"This incident was both disturbing and disappointing," Akaka said. "It reinforced fears among many veterans that the V.A'.s mental health system is not meeting all their needs."
It is clear that the V.A. management has many shades of truth. The public will never see the truth because if they did- they would be outraged at how our veterans are being (not) treated.
