So I said I'm going to start discussing how "modern" frontend practice impacts experiences using public sector sites. Lets get into it. You know who deserves the very best experience? Our Veterans. ...meanwhile at http://vets.gov ...: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/180912_6Q_5fd08e0ef64071de6f3cd266c36a3cac/ …

US Veterans, as a whole, are not a wealthy group. They are as likely to be at risk for homelessness as to be able to afford the best hardware: http://nchv.org/index.php/news/media/background_and_statistics/ …

What are those 400K providing our veterans and their loved ones? Drop-down menus, AFAICT. And a type-ahead search. Also React, React DOM, Promise and Object.assign polyfills (in browsers that have both natively), Modernizr, a copy of `core-js`, etc. etc. etc.
