OK -— sent the info on my experiences in, now we will wait and see what happens. Kinda expected to get one of those immediate replies saying “we have received your email and want you to know we are already working on it” or something similar, but this is probably too new to be that sophisticated, yet . . .
I will keep y’all posted of the outcome.

I love the idea. I hope he has a plan in place in how to deal with all of this information. He will get TONS of responses on how to reform it, of people’s stories of what they are dealing with, etc.

"Who else is doing anything pro-active for Vets right now? "

Nobody. Absolutely NOBODY.

But, for whatever crazy reason I believe Trump means these words and will clean up VA.

"Your Fired!" is the only, only thing that will work there.

I'm at the VA about twice a month. Some good, some bad.

But the bad is very bad.

Wonder how big his call center is??? Tried the hotline a few times and it’s busy, busy, busy. I’ll bet my fellow Vets who have faced nothing but unhearing/uncaring brick walls from the VA for so many years are melting his phone lines today.

"nick is deeply saddened."

Oh, I don't know about that. Nick is committed ideologically, and on this board too.

His response is likely to be "Trump is lying to vets!"

That said, I admire the guy (sincere). He is on a mission.

Kinda like Trump.

He should next tackle Muslim inbreeding and develop a hotline for those suffering from birth defects and schizophrenia. I’m sure the press would report on it....LOL!

DONALD TRUMP FACEBOOK


Donald J. Trump Orders Flags to be flown at Half-Staff at all Trump Properties in Honor of the Five Fallen Soldiers Mr. Trump Takes Action and Shows Commitment to Military and Vets.

(New York, NY) July 20th, 2015-

Today Donald J. Trump has ordered all flags at Trump properties around the country to be flown at half-staff in honor of the five fallen soldiers who were tragically killed in last week's shooting. Mr. Trump has long been a dedicated supporter of our military and our Veterans and if the President won't act, he will.

Mr. Trump stated, "This disgraceful omission is unacceptable and yet another example of our incompetent politicians. It is a simple yet meaningful and important gesture that signifies our respect and recognition for these great soldiers who lost their lives. We must do better for all Americans, especially our military. We must Make America Great Again!"

In addition to the lowering of the flags, Mr. Trump has established a hotline (855- VETS- 352) and email address (veterans@donaldtrump.com) for Veterans to share their stories about the need to reform our Veterans Administration.

If he is elected President he will take care of these and all Veteran complaints very quickly and efficiently like a world-class businessman can do, but a politician has no clue.

....”people are so brainwashed that capitalists are evil, they never figure maybe the Donald is just a good person who cares”.....

I’ve seen capitalists who don’t care...Trump is not one of them. But he is selective of who he cares about/for when it matters he does.

Di you hear him talk about his faith? That was pretty interesting as well...

Very striking what Trumps doing for the military....looks like he’s pointing the way.....much.... to many others who wait for someone else to pick it up when they’re pressured to do so.

Not a Trump fan but this is a very good move if he follows through on it.

He is attacking the issues where this administration has dropped the ball, and he doesn’t even have to say the administration screwed up. He is directly taken the route of how should this be fixed. Very proactive. What I would expect from a person steeped in a business background.

And he will hire a good call center, with happy, nice, and polite agents who will take the information down. Just what well paid, private industry can do.

I just wrote a couple of posts poo-pooing the Donald. The Vet-line thing is genius. And he will have results by the weekend—or during the debate. Collecting and using information is what business winners do well.

Good for Donald.

He’s a patriot and he’s outsmarting MSM and all his haters.
