What You Need: One Nag, One Hysteric, One Geek, etc.
Assistant Defense Secretrary S. Ward Casscells says that advocates need to speak up when they feel that their war-wounded loved ones are being ill-served by military hospital staff:
"On your team you need a champion. ... You need a nag, a hysteric, someone with computer skills, and someone who can read the legal fine print. It's daunting."
