The vigilers still have concerns about veterans’ care, such as a projected $3 billion shortfall for 2006 VA funding, the closing of veterans hospitals (including Walter Reed), the bureaucratic hurdles facing soldiers with long-term disabilities who are trying to get disability payments, and the Army’s recent statement that it is “revisiting” 72,000 cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) recorded in past 5 years because misdiagnosis and fraud have inflated the numbers. “We are continuing the vigils because there is still a need to push for better care,” said Laura Costas of CODEPINK and Military Families Speak Out, whose brother served in Iraq. “Yes, we want to bring the troops home, but we also want to ensure that they are well-cared for when they return.”
