When a government scandal explodes, the proliferating revelations can quickly become overwhelming, causing the public to disengage. In the case of the rapidly widening controversy at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Americans must not let this happen. They owe this much to the veterans who fight America’s wars. If the present scandal goes on the back burner, neglectful VA bureaucrats will continue mistreating veterans and covering their tracks, as they have been doing for too many years.
