In 2004, Buyer received a promotion to Colonel in the US Army Reserves at a White House ceremony by President George W. Bush along with South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who was promoted to Colonel in the US Air Force Reserves.
Buyer was selected to replace Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), who had alienated House leaders by pushing for high levels of spending on veterans programs.
Buyer recently sparked new controversy in an interview published by the American Legion Magazine in which he said the department should concentrate on serving a "core constituency," and he disputed assertions that "all veterans are veterans and all veterans should be treated the same."
