Sen. John Walsh: US government is failing veterans

Published April 21, 2014 4:00am ET



Sen. John Walsh, D-Mont., said the Veterans Affairs Department and congressional leaders are not doing enough to care for American veterans.

“I do not,” Walsh replied when CNN’s Candy Crowley asked if the government was keeping its “promise” to service members. “You know, I think that our veterans need — we need better health care for our veterans. And, for example, in a state like Montana, we’ve built additional VA Clinics, because when you look at how rural Montana is, having to travel from Miles City, Montana to Helena, where the VA Is, is really unrealistic.”
