Description
This Veterans Day, politicians praise military service from podiums across the country, but the reality behind the speeches tells a very different story.
From severe VA healthcare staffing shortages and an alarming suicide rate to over 170,000 eligible veterans slipping through the cracks of housing programs, America is failing to keep its lifelong promises to those who served.
Thom Hartmann breaks down the latest reports, investigates systemic failures inside the Department of Veterans Affairs, and examines what happens when service members face political pressure over their constitutional oath.
