Is this the same VA you are talking about?
VA bureaucracy continues to protect bad employees, hurt U.S. troops
The vast majority of Americans value their jobs and understand they are accountable for their work. They know that if they perform poorly, there will be consequences, and if they engage in illegal behavior, they will likely be fired immediately.
Things are much different if you work for the federal government, especially at the Department of Veterans Affairs. There, it’s virtually impossible to dismiss bad employees, no matter what they do — even committing armed robbery, watching pornography on the job, or stealing prescription drugs.

It's enough to make your blood boil.
so your conclusion is there are NOT many hardworking employees in the VA. I have witnessed some myself.
I worked in a medium-sized prison system. Every now and then we had staff bring in drugs or cell phones or beat up inmates who were restrained. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have a lot of hard working employees, yours truly included.
So...what are YOU doing about it...
Let me guess...NOTHING.
NOT at your local level, not at the state or federal level.
Nothing, but ranting. No efforts. No change.
