Theological note: Scripture calls rulers to care for those who have borne the cost of national service, and to do so justly and faithfully. Whether veterans receive good counseling depends on competence, accessibility, and honest stewardship, which the bill's staffing change bears on only indirectly. The measure raises a prudential question about how best to serve veterans, not a direct moral question.
