It took the full might of the Veteran community to get them to back down on this. Otherwise, they were set to cut disability benefits... merely a week before throwing a new generation of troops into war. And they really think we believe they care about those who serve? https://t.co/KkKve5Tq4N

You called our concerns "fake news" just yesterday. You're backtracking because you know this new rule could hurt our heroes' access to care, and Veterans across the country called you on your bullshit. If you take Veterans' concerns seriously, you'd rescind the rule entirely.
