The Department of Veterans Affairs took another hit today as news surfaced that an email had been circulated to staffers at an Indianapolis VA hospital making fun of the mental health problems suffered by returning combat veterans.
The Dec. 18 message included several images of a toy Christmas elf, according to The Indianapolis Star, which obtained the email.
The email was sent by social worker Robin Paul to her staff within the Seamless Transition Integrated Care Clinic at the Roudebush VA Medical Center. In one photograph, the elf pleads for Xanax, which is prescribed to treat anxiety and panic. The caption reads: "Self-medicating for mental health issues." In another image, the elf hangs by a Christmas light with the message: "Caught in the act of suicidal behavior (trying to hang himself from an electrical cord)."
The news comes at a time when suicide among military veterans claims an estimated 22 lives a day, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Draft everyone under the age of 40. Refusal met with death.
If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
So, is social worker Robin Paul now fired? I hope so.
Let the punishment fit the crime: this woman needs to be medicated with a mid range dosage of Xanax for a few months and then be cut off cold turkey. As she is rolling around on the ground hallucinating and having withdrawal seizures, if she lives through it someone can ask her if she still finds it funny.
Could this be the Obama administration’s Abu Ghraib scandal ?

In the last draft, 36 WAS the oldest age to be drafted.
I add:
Let the DRILL INSTRUCTORS (who were not designed to be any sort of a queer ‘life coach’) be who they once were, because we have too many WUSSIES in this country, and also, yes, give them a sidearm, to, uh, “prevent any training accidents” from occuring, as might with the ‘urban element’, once drafted.
ON LEAVE...BUT LIKE ALWAYS...EXPOSURE IS GOOD
Will the moron be fired? Fat chance . . . This administration hates anyone in the military. Disgusting.
We routinely made fun of some of these people,perhaps wrongly.
But making fun of military veterans is absolutely disgusting...nauseating.
Well...I was half right.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong....
Only Veterans and active service memebers can vote!
GOMERs (Get Out of My ER)
Why am I not surprised that this woman, and I use the term loosely, has not been fired????? Don’t you know, the Military and Christians are fare game for anything. Sick just sick.
Are you inferring that I’m part of the problem? In what way?
Not that I’m aware of from other articles I’ve read!
The worst thing that I can think of to say about her....
I BET SHE VOTES STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT!
You can’t get much lower than that!
