Assuming most vets vote conservatively and are passionately pro-American...nah, there’s no way Obama’s administration could’ve purposely “killed off” voters that would go against him.

Ex-military when alive will vote conservative. Once they are killed or die their vote will be corrupted and those very same corpses will vote Demorat ! ... forever

I wonder how long the wait for healthcare and benefits is for those illegally coming across the southern border?

Trump still believes in socialist healthcare, no doubt he will “find a guy” to make it work

But more than enough money for free health care for illegals and their anchor babies.

I am always a bit skeptical when a headline has the words “may have” in it.

I wonder if the officials who failed to follow federal laws in the processing the veterans’ claims will be shackled and thrown in jail...

...

...well, I don’t REALLY wonder whether they will be jailed - I know they will not be.

That’s what obamacare will be

I am very familiar with military and VA Heath care. Active duty is better than this but it has flaws. Active duty Military health care has doctors and other staff built in more or less

Obamacare does not

Obamacare will provide the right to health care. It does absolutely nothing to ensure staffing

It will make the VA medical care system look good. There is no doubt in my mind

My idea to fix the Veterans Affairs and VA hospital mess.

Fire all Management Employees who never served in the military!

That ought to get the ball rolling in fixing the damned mess!

Oh it’s a bad headline definitely

The story is that 300,000 who have died are still on the rosters. Nothing new.

VA health care has always been this way.

The story should be, here’s what health care looks like when the government is in charge.

My experience is that most vets I come in contact with are liberals and NOT conservatives. But that's just me, and reality.

I'm careful to leave politics out of anything to do with medicine. I get to spend a lot of time at the VA. I'd rather not spend that time with the VA.

‘Vets’ not to be confused with specifically, ‘retired military’, I take it

Vets includes anyone the VA provides service to. That includes, but is not limited to, retired military.

Distinction without a difference. Still not safe to be loudly conservative and wear a Cruz T-shirt. I do wear my Cruz t-shirt when I'm at the VA unless I'm wearing one of my t-shirts. ;)

The White Mosque, abetted by the EXEMPT Treasonous
GOP, wanted them murdered and replaced with
300,000 Islamic terrorists.

It is true, and you could not make this up.

May be a small group. I'm talking about seeing and talking to hundreds of vets in a week, including retired vets that might be related to folks in the white house.
