Support and spending for our veterans have greatly contributed to the success of the All-Volunteer Force. But is an increasingly generous disability compensation program the best way to help veterans and to inspire young adults to serve? See my op-ed with @markduggan_econ 👇

As we honor military veterans today, you may find of interest my new op-ed in The Hill with Kyle Greenberg at West Point connecting the explosive growth in veterans’ disability to declines in veterans’ employment and our crisis in military recruiting: thehill.com/opinion/national…
How runaway disability compensation is straining Veterans Affairs

How runaway disability compensation is straining Veterans Affairs

Replying to @SCarter611
1. Amazing and supportive colleagues! I’ve learned so much from them. Get advise and feedback each stage of the research process.  2. Ideal class environment: small sizes where students show up on time, are not on their phones, and are very respectful.
