have such antiquated computer systems and software? Why the hell don't we have a 'Department of IT' that simply makes sure every other branch's hardware and software is kept up to date? We shouldn't have 'record backlogs' anywhere. If the VA isn't keeping up, it should be a lack of physical facilities and understaffing to blaim, things we could throw money at more quickly to get them up to speed.
