ANECDOTE

From Marine Recruit To Navy EOD

  • He described intense academic and physical training and a small, close-knit EOD community where everyone knows each other.
INSIGHT

VA Bureaucracy Blocks Community Care

  • Tom Sauer says VA bureaucracy resists community-care because it threatens internal budgets and control.
  • He warns that deep-state career officials, not policy, are blocking veterans' access to outside mental-health and addiction treatment.
ADVICE

Confirm VHA Leaders Quickly

  • Confirm political leadership at the Veterans Health Administration to change field practices and restore community-care access.
  • Senate should prioritize confirming VHA appointees so policy directives reach local VA facilities.
