America's injured soldiers are coming home to face another battle: red tape, delays, and a VA ill-prepared to handle a long war's crushing caseload. Disabled Iraq veterans already have braved insurgent attacks and the threat of improvised explosive devices. But few are prepared for the nerve-wracking experience of dealing with the VA system.

Thousands of wounded troops are stranded in administrative limbo, at the mercy of a medical evaluation system that's agonizingly slow, grossly understaffed & saddled with a growing backlog of cases. They are awaiting hearings & decisions on whether they will continue their service, or be discharged with what level of benefits, IF any.
