-------------------------

This is CNN's long-awaited program on waging war on the VA...something any veteran who has filed a claim can relate to.

However, this is what I would call "docu-lite."

There is nothing new in this program. It is just a rehash of information from print stories.

What we did find out is that Acting VA Secretary Gordon Mansfield, when pushed, can be a belligerent old cuss.

CNN would have done better if they had found three new stories to tell instead of just putting video to old print stories.

And, the Michael Moore "Roger and Me" stunt (trying to get to see the VA Secretary) is more than a little tired. Come on guys, try something different.

This program is in six parts (so it could be posted on YouTube).

Length of Part 1 is 8:42.
