The move comes just hours before Veterans Day and gives a direct response to criticism from veterans groups that the Democrat still hadn’t engaged on those issues enough, either on the campaign trail or on his website.
“Veterans have not escaped Washington’s dysfunction,” the former Maryland governor’s campaign states in his new policy paper. “While some progress has been made at (VA), the current situation remains unacceptable. Further reform and bold actions are needed to ensure instances of data manipulation and secret wait lists never happen again.”
Those reforms include expanding several of O’Malley’s veterans initiatives in Maryland to a national level, including the use of new data analysis tools and a greater emphasis on local facility control and response.

Help me out. Did he ever serve in the military?
I can't think of a thing that he did for veterans while governor of Maryland, even though he had the power to do so. And now he's our savior? I don't think so.
He sucks.
O'Malley made a big deal out of state programs to house, clothe, feed and employ veterans, but the results were poor.
I can't think of a single veteran that would vote for him!
what a nit wit
Life line. Anyone.
his plan is hiring more Democrats to do very little if anything
He is grasping at straws. "Ending unemployment" for veterans? Exactly...how....and what jobs? Where?
POSER
