Fire this SOB too!
I've seen up close what a family has to go through to get treatment for a soldier that had a serious head wound. The VA and the DOD have been screwing up!
Every one of these kids that have been seriously injured should have as much in their pockets as the 911 families do.
If we cannot take care of the families of our dead and for our wounded and their families bring them all home!
Some give with their lives, some give for the rest of their lives.

I go to the Dallas VA. I am a disabled VET. I wish they would close that place.
Why? Because I'd much rather be rolled up in "private" health care. It takes me hours to be seen even with an appointment. The distances that need driven to get to a VA hospital are ridiculous (But of course they will claim you can get reimbursed for the expenses IF you're willing to stand in another line!). The quality of care is OK, but it is very evident that a patient is not a customer. Capitalism works, and the VA does not work, in fact it never has worked well because it fails at the most basic concept of economics and human nature. It's not the fault of the head of the VA, it's a fault of the design of system. It's a socialist system that is massively abused, inefficient, and the patient can't vote with his money, so service sucks.

Wait till Hillary becomes President. Universal Health Care will solve all these problems. Right?
