A key line from the article
"Veterans Health Administration officials, who were part of the Connected Care program, made a good faith effort to help veterans get smartphones."
We are always screaming about helping our homeless brothers and sisters. It looks like this was an attempt to do so.

MSG Stan Hutchison agreed, just not as well thought out as it should have been. The logistics of issuing the devices were at odds with the program.

"The VA said the Connected Care program was also transferring excess loaner iPhones to the Veterans Health Administration Homeless Program Office, so that coordinators could provide an iPhone to any veteran lacking stable housing and needing a device."
So they aren't being wasted. How about that!!!

SrA John Monette The waste comes from the data and use plans being active before the phone/devices are issued to a veteran.

PO2 Russell "Russ" Lincoln - I saw that later. Seems they should have waited on the data plans until the phones were actually issued.
