Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins told viewers on Wake Up America that the VA is laser-focused on getting veterans the care they deserve by cutting the red tape that has strangled service for too long. He made clear that reforms are about putting the veteran first and redirecting savings into healthcare, benefits, and services — not shrinking the support our heroes rely on.
Collins pushed back hard against breathless media rumors that claim cuts are coming to veterans’ benefits, insisting plainly that health care and benefits for veterans are not being cut. Conservatives should be glad someone inside is standing up to false narratives and protecting the dignity of our vets from partisan panic.
When a reporter tried to stoke fear, Collins didn’t hesitate to call it out — warning the press that scaring veterans and VA employees with rumors is unacceptable and will be answered. That courage to confront the narrative machine is exactly what veterans need from their leadership, not more spin and sensationalism.
Practical changes are underway: the VA is hiring mission-critical staff while eliminating nonessential positions to save millions that will be funneled back into direct care. This is conservative governance in action — stripping bureaucracy to fund results — and it should be applauded by anyone who believes taxpayer dollars must serve those who served us.
Secretary Collins also credited the administration’s fast pace of reform for allowing the VA to move boldly and efficiently rather than languish under the same failed processes that allowed wait lists and waste to flourish. If Washington wants to honor veterans, talk is cheap; action that improves access and outcomes is what matters, and Collins is delivering on that promise.
Now is the time for patriots to stand with those who put country before self. Demand accountability from the media, insist Congress stop playing politics with veterans’ lives, and support leaders who cut the nonsense and prioritize care — because our commitment to vets starts the moment they raise their right hand, and it must never waver.
