month, and that s when i had to go there if i wanted to be seen for prosthetic care. obviously that s not very convenient for somebody that has to go to work every day, to have a system where you can only be seen once a month. hillary clinton about a week ago said that it was just not you know, we were blowing it out of proportion, that it really wasn t that big of a deal the way the vmplgts .a. is treating veterans. i m not surprised that hillary clinton is making that statement. we know that the very socialist left wants to move the entire country towards a singlsingle-p health care system. of course they don t want to acknowledge the problems associated with it for decades. so you are running for congress, for the seat that allen west, another military man, narrowly lost in 2012. i guess i ve got to ask you, why run for congress? i started thinking about running for congress when i was laying in a bed in walter reed army medical center. and i told my wife, i don t know how
