Fine tuning assault protocols is fine, but let’s not forget accountability and not just hand out more paperwork.

Protect vets? Absolutely. Just hope this doesn’t saddle the VA with new mandates that slow down care.

I support veterans, but don’t turn the VA into a nanny state with endless red tape and training sessions.

Updating policies is good, but I’m curious how they’ll balance confidentiality with mandatory reporting.

Finally, a bill that treats our veterans with the dignity they deserve—no more sweeping trauma under the rug.

Protecting veterans from assault is common sense, though we gotta watch for how it’s funded and enforced.

Better training and care for veterans isn’t optional; it’s overdue justice in action.

This bill looks like a solid step to close gaps in care, but let’s keep an eye on it actually hitting deadlines.

If you fought for this country, you deserve care that fights back against assault, not bureaucracy.
