Wounded warriors face home-front battle with VA - CNN.com: "Ziegel, a 25-year-old Marine sergeant, knew the dangers of war when he was deployed for his second tour in Iraq. But he didn't expect a new battle when he returned home as a wounded warrior: a fight with the Department of Veterans Affairs. 'Sometimes, you get lost in the system,' he told CNN. 'I feel like a Social Security number. I don't feel like Tyler Ziegel.' His story is one example of how medical advances in the battlefield have outpaced the home front. Many wounded veterans return home feeling that the VA system, specifically its 62-year-old disability ratings system, has failed them."
This is a crying shame.
