Is caring for military veterans a cost of going to war? That is what Knutson, veterans liaison for U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., asked two dozen attendees during City Club Missoula’s monthly luncheon at the Doubletree Edgewater.

Who bears responsibility for the care of veterans – the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, local communities, or both?

Is a volunteer military good or bad for our country?

"I don’t know the answer, but it’s something we should consider," Knutson said of the latter.
