Veterans' groups met in San Francisco this week as part of an ongoing battle to fix the Department of Veterans' Affairs. The groups claim that veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with mental health issues do not receive timely or adequate treatment. Last year, a judge agreed with them but said the court didn’t have authority over the VA. The groups have taken their case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that recent moves by the VA haven't gone far enough to address suicides and other mental health issues. Africa Jones reports.
