You make some pretty serious allegations there.

I would argue that the VA is probably incompetent in certain areas and instances, but to say corrupt is taking it to a whole other level.

I fail to see how or what they’re hiding from when you say they hide behind the veterans.

You may care less if they crash and burn, but the many thousands of veterans who seek and receive medical care at these facilities might have a thing or two to say about that.

As for their political leanings, I have no proof. Do you, or are you just making a generalized assumption because they work for an arm of the U.S. gov’t?

As for your last comment, I would ask if you’ve been on the receiving end of such treatment and if so, was it at every VA facility nationwide?

You are disparaging a lot of folks in your comments. That’s a pretty broad brush your swinging around.

“You make some pretty serious allegations there.”
I make truthful statements of fact.

“I would argue that the VA is probably incompetent in certain areas and instances, but to say corrupt is taking it to a whole other level.”

No it isnt. Check this website... a list of VA corruptions nationwide...http://www.vawatchdog.org/

“I fail to see how or what they’re hiding from when you say they hide behind the veterans.”

One example....if they are called on their incompetence many many of the VA managers will fall back to the statement....”I was doing what I thought was best for the veteran” when in fact it is obvious that they are doing what is best for themselves.

“You may care less if they crash and burn, but the many thousands of veterans who seek and receive medical care at these facilities might have a thing or two to say about that.”

And how many of those you speak for think the VA cant do better?

“As for their political leanings, I have no proof. Do you, or are you just making a generalized assumption because they work for an arm of the U.S. gov’t?”

Didnt you read the part where I work within the VA system? Or are you making an assumption because somehow I have exposed something you didnt want shown the light of day?

“As for your last comment, I would ask if you’ve been on the receiving end of such treatment and if so, was it at every VA facility nationwide?”

Again I would ask if you have read this site http://www.vawatchdog.org/ which has been tracking VA incompetence and criminal behavior nationwide for years.

“You are disparaging a lot of folks in your comments. That’s a pretty broad brush your swinging around.”

Good! They need to be disparaged. And I am man enough to swing the biggest of brushes.

What is it that I have said that you are so afraid of?

I’d have to ask what department in what VA institution do you work for that you are so ashamed of?
