"Walter Reed hospital has been on the firing line for many years and as a disabled vet I know what VA hospitals are like....NOT GOOD."
I too am a service-connected disabled veteran. I made my first journey in about 20+ years to a VA hospital back in January. They don't seem to have changed much from way back when. For me, the VA hospital "experience" just reconfirmed the old adage that going to a VA hospital gives the veteran a second opportunity to die for their country.
Just a nitpick.Walter Reed is not a VA hospital. It is an Army hospital.
