Regardless of the IDA's reasoning - this is completely wrong and couldn't be on their agenda at a more "Politically Sensitive" time.
This will be another "Political Football"
If the IDA Chairman allows it to pass - he will be accused of abusing the IDA Mission.
If this fails to pass - the IDA Chairman will be labelled ANTI Veterans.
Without or without Politics - and I am a Veteran - this is wrongful use of the IDA.
It just adds another reason to add to the mountain of reasons the IDA should be disbanded.
