Trust but verify?

Доверяй, но проверяй.  Trust but verify.  Ronald Reagan applied this to the Soviet Union.  We currently do the opposite with our wounded warriors, verify and then trust.  This results in a backlog, mountains of paperwork, navigating the bureaucracy, old computer systems, silos, and endless delays that wear down our soldiers more so than running with 100 pounds of gear up a hill, in nasty weather, while under attack.  What if we follow Ronald Reagan's lead for our own people who sacrificed for our nation?  Let's approve all of their applications for health benefits and then audit later.  Treat human beings as human beings.
