"What is difficult … to comprehend is why the Department of Veterans Affairs, having entered into a settlement agreement and agreed to a consent order [in 1991], continues to resist its implementation so vigorously, as well as to resist equally vigorously the payment of desperately needed benefits to … veterans who fought for their country and suffered grievous injury as a result of our government’s own conduct.”
Nehmer v. VA, 494 F.3d 846, 864-865 (9th Cir. Cal. 2007)
[T]he government’s interest in veterans cases is not that it shall win, but rather that justice shall be done, that all veterans so entitled receive the benefits due to them.” Barrett v. Nicholson, 466 F.3d 1038, 1044 (Fed.Cir.2006)
