Peter Gatyan, the Executive Director of the American Legion, asked Wolf Blitzer Thursday, “How much more do we have to wait for?”
“The American Legion’s question is how much more do we have to wait for? Mr. Carney keeps insisting that, you know, we need to ensure the VA meets its obligations to American veterans. The VA’s goal is to provide health care. That’s been the VA’s goal since its inception. The American Legion was part of the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs as a cabinet level agency. What we need to see now is the failures that have come to light because of these IG investigations have to be fixed.”
The American Legion called on Gen. Shinseki to resign three weeks ago.
