The VA making sure the war is the second most traumatic event in your life.
How about you idiots first work on appropriating money for the suicide hotline before you worry about funding to conduct an attachadicktome or lopping off tallywackers.
“Reagan created a federal department and increased funding”
Yup..the one I was talking about has almost doubled in size and is state of the art now.
I’m waiting for the US Army to follow suit.
My husband does too and it is pretty amazing. Yeah, a bump or two every so often but they take good care of him.
Glad they came to their senses but the VA got very strange there for a bit.
“it literally takes an act of murder to get fired from the Fed govt.”
What does it take to get the proper medication for pain?
When did they announce they’d pay for the surgery? Pre-Trump?
Oh - “Darn you ipad spell checker, you have failed me for the last time!” ;)
I don’t see where this is a hit, just a deferral.
Great news. Now the OBESE and POT HEADS can stay out of the Military too. A good TI would have them running home to mama in a few days.
It was splashed all over the Navy, Army and Air Force Times when I went to the Navy Exchange Tuesday to pick up our meds we are DOD Mandated to use the base pharmacy as we are Tricare Life. And I won’t use Express Scripts for any thing but name brand, no generic drugs. Can’t trust them with your credit card or auto pay from your bank. Just shoves your meds in your unprotected mail box UN ID SIGNED FOR! We get our neighbors several times a year. And these are not cheap meds 2 of them are nearly $2 K retail for 3 months. Our highest co-pays.
Can you sneak in ear plugs? Sleep well and know what you are hearing is all lies.
All of my Army DIs were Vietnam Vets and the vast majority of my initial leadership teams were, as well. I learned from some of the best! I joined in 1978, was in BT in 1979 for my 19th Birthday and was in the very FIRST co-ed Training Platoon @ Fort Jackson, SC.
Man, it was tiring dragging those boys along with us! ;)
These are some of the problems that need ASAP fixing.

“...dropped plans to start covering gender transition surgery for veterans amid concerns about costs.”
I agree. Having your doodads lopped off should be elective surgery.
I went through several "diversity awareness" classes during 24 years in the military. After each class I would find my boss and ask if they had a remedial class because as hard as I try I just can't seem to catch on.
I asked him if would would include the Nation of Islam. He said no, it wouldn't. I suggested he didn't enough about NoI or racism for that matter.
I was pulled aside at the next break and told to " keep it civil" , lol
