You'd have thought so from the amount of crap that MacArthur took. For some reason, people who wanted to beatify FDR "forgot" that MacArthur charged the Bonus Marchers at FDR's orders (and I think under protest).

Personally, I'd get rid of the VA and give eligible veterans credit toward the private health plan of their choice while converting the better hospitals to research hospitals under HHS oversight, giving vets preference but basically opening them up for generalized health research and last resort medical care. It's the 21st century, time to give vets some choice and control over their medical care.
