4. Underfunded?

Didn't the VA get its requested funding increases every year the past 10 years? If they are underfunded, would that be because they did not request the amount they needed? How can something be underfunded when they got everything they asked for unless their leadership was inept in not knowing what to ask for?

Just curious.
