(Veterans Wrongfully Denied Benefits While The VA Looks The Other Way)
Jamie Fox (U.S. Navy Veteran) was fired from Oakland VA Regional Office for advocating for fellow U.S. Navy Veteran, Hosea Roundtree after arguing that the disability benefits were being wrongfully denied. Mr. Roundtree's claim for disability compensation was denied despite his suffering from PTSD.

The story of Ms. Fox and Mr. Roundtree hits very close to home as I come from a family of United States servicemen and women. I think of my great grandfather, grandfather, father, aunts, and uncles who have served this country and how this could be there story. This is unacceptable for a third of cases to be found to have errors upon audit.
What are your thoughts?
