6 pages in length. The main thing on the minds of every soldier coming home from military conflict is to realign themselves with the lives they left behind. Work, friends, home life, familial relationships – all of these and more require a great measure of readjustment for veterans whose entire existence has centered upon war. Even those without any battle-related encumbrances - such as mental, physical or emotional injuries – still need help assimilating back into the society they left behind in order to protect. Veterans Affairs (VA) has been an instrumental force in providing much-needed education, home loans, pensions, medical care, life insurance and vocational rehabilitation for both the veteran and his/her family, however, as beneficial as VA has been in helping veterans piece their collective lives back together with such assistance, the system has become so overloaded that more and more veterans are going without benefits they are qualified to receive.

II. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Far too many veterans aptly qualified to receive VA benefits are not doing so for the not-so-simple fact that the system has been poorly managed
and funds have dwindled to an all-time low. Advocates for veterans benefits have taken to publishing articles to advise qualified military personnel of myriad benefits about which they might
not know. Drugs, medical supplies and dental care, for example, are three areas for which Green (1995) campaigns on behalf of Paralyzed Veterans of America; if not for his
efforts, many vets would not know of the all-encompassing reach of VA benefits. Even when veterans are keenly aware of their qualifications for benefits, attempting to obtain them
is too often met with great frustration and long waiting periods. III. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of this study is to illuminate the current issues surrounding funding problems
of VA programs. Money was in plentiful amounts when the GI Bill first offered war torn veterans the chance to earn a fruitful education at government expense some sixty
