Trump just fired 3600 VA workers. 307,000 veterans died waiting for care since Sept 2014 and he is pissed. Trust me it't true, don't care what VA you use. I'm a dissabled vet, they are so useless I gave up on them 7-8 years ago, a fuking joke. If you do get in to see a doc they push anti depressants like aspirin. And most go home and take them.
Also note 575 persons were taken down for assanation threats. NO YOU WONT SEE THIS ON CNN
That's good news Shawnee, though I sincerely hope not too late for the many other honorable veterans...
I do not like the way the sailors on-board the Ronald Reagan were treated after sailing into the radio-active plume from Fukushima when it went kerboom, back in 2011. Not many sailors now left, & families & new-born children were devastatingly affected from the fall-out...

It seems that link has been censored away I'm sorry...
There's some information about it in my Fukushima thread, likely in the first page or so if you care to read.

I wish I had a better understanding of the circumstances but I don't. Is it really the case that 3600 people were incompetent, or is it a case of the V.A. Being underfunded?
I am not sure the exact number of Liberals out there but I am sure it is much higher than 3,600 people! Therefore, sheer numbers alone can not dictate incompetence when we have an entire political group as large as the Democrat party who are by and large incompetent.
Or perhaps one of the prerequisite conditions to being a Liberal is to be underfunded throughout life in general?
I will have to ponder on that one a little longer.

I don't think it is funding I think it is the way the VA's were run.
Rastus, think it will get better now for vets use VA. Some things just needed exposing.
I didn't mention parking. Go to a major VA expect 2 hours to find a parking spot, not kidding. In 2005 Maine's "Togus VA" was 9000 parking spots short. They all are, Nashville where I am supposed to go now is worse. I just don't bother and haven't for a long time.
I'm not saying all VA treatment is screwed up, I have had some very good care, and some very bad too! Have to just say no sometimes. VA wants every single vet on anti depressants. Say no? Fine then they make you see a shrinker cause you refused their care!!!!! Don't take the drugs or refuse a shrink, no more care. And the CONSTANT "do you own guns"
Yes that was their goal. Now Trump did away with the veterans being dissarmed for no reason at all seems "different" Lose your guns because you have ptsd or on anti depressants or anti anxiety was not right and aimed ONLY at vets. The ATF 4473 form had a seperate question JUST FOR VETS. It's gone now. Not legal to single out a single group. Firefighters, police, paramedics don't have ptsd? They weren't targeted, just vets. That was an odumbo thing, it's gone.
