The VA is corrupt and it hides behind veterans.

I could care less if they crash and burn.They are not socialist,it is just the people who work there,tend to be usually pretty far to the left.

Big on people respecting them,not so much on respecting those who serve.

I worked for many years in the VA system, and I can tell you that, although most government workers are relatively liberal (to us), ALOT of VA employees are former/current military, and they still tend to be conservative. I'd say that overall, the employees there would qualify as "conservative democrats" (if there was such a thing).

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.
