The Department of Veterans Affairs is a huge organization with a $300+ Billion budget, workforce of 412,000+, 170 medical centers or outpatient clinics, 135 national cemeteries and dozens of benefits programs to match.

Doug Collins, while he's accomplished a lot in his military, political and ministerial careers does not have any corporate or enterprise management expertise on the scale of an organization the size of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If Doug Collins is confirmed to be the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs, he's in for a trial by fire. And problems with the VA always blow back on the President!
