I believe the VA should improve in it's efforts to make sure all Veterans get the treatment they deserve regardless of what era they served.

PEACE!

It is a disgrace. What makes it worse is that there aremental health specialists who would donate their time but they can't get past the VA gatekeepers

I tried to volunteer at a VA with my active duty ID card and got no where.

Part of the problem is willingness to be treated. But the major part is not enough providers and an unwilliness to accept assistance
