Veterans' Disability:

• Army Suicides Preventable?
  Paul Rieckhoff, the founder and executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Feb. 12, 2009, "In January, we lost approximately 24 soldiers in the Army to suicide. That's more folks than we lost in combat. We lost more soldiers to suicide than to al Qaeda."
• Waging War on the VA - Part 1
  In this five-part video series you will hear the stories of three Iraq war heroes who have paid an extreme price to serve their country: Marine Sergeant Ty Ziegel, Army Major Tammy Duckworth, and Army Sergeant Garrett Anderson. True patriots that have served with dignity and honor, but you'll be shocked to learn that these wounded warriors are being failed by their own government - by a broken bureaucracy that let them down when they returned from war.
• Waging War on the VA - Part 2
  After extensive media coverage, Ty Ziegel's disability ratings were quickly reevaluated and increased across the board. The VA insists that cases like Ty's (where there are obvious disparities in his disability ratings) are rare and that most veterans receive fair compensation. The agency's spokesperson goes on to say that he is confident that all veterans get the same exact results in their system regardless of the severity of their impairments.
• Waging War on the VA - Part 3
  In part three of this CNN investigative report, Ty Ziegel meets Tammy Duckworth, the Illinois State Director of Veterans' Affairs. Tammy, who was also an Army Major and as a result of her service, an double amputee, reveals that the person who reviews a veteran's disability claim, the rating specialist, is just a bureaucrat, they are not someone who is trained in the medical field at all. Tammy goes on to confess that she is not optimistic about the future of our veterans and stresses that we [U.S.] have a big fight ahead of us...
• Waging War on the VA - Part 4
  Tammy Duckworth, a wounded Iraq war veteran, is using her "bonus time", as she calls it, to fight for veterans’ rights and benefits. Within 48 hours of her hospital discharge, she announced her bid for Congress. Though she fell short on Election Day by a tiny margin, then Illinois governor, appointed Tammy as the State's Director of Veterans Affairs – her first call to action? To fix the disparities in the VA's disability rating system.
• Waging War on the VA - Part 5
  "Shrapnel wounds all over the body not service-connected." This is what the VA told Garrett Andersen, a National Guardsman who lost his right arm when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) hit the Army truck he was driving near Bagdad, in his disability compensation awards letter.
• Waging War on the VA - Part 6
  What these former soldiers have learned is that to get what you want from the VA you have to fight. Though this is a war they never signed up for and never expected to fight. In this final segment, you will hear how each veteran's personal victories and what life is like for them today.
• Suicide Epidemic Amongst Military Veterans - Part 2
  Part 2 of a CBS News investigation which uncovered a tragic and troubling epidemic among our military veterans - an epidemic of suicide. Men and woman are taking their lives in startling numbers - surviving the war in Iraq only to lose their lives upon their return.
• Suicide Epidemic Amongst Military Veterans - Part 1
  A CBS News investigation team conducted a 5-month state-by-state survey which uncovered a tragic and troubling epidemic among our military veterans - an epidemic of suicide.
