P.S. This new VA secretary is an ex-general who was sent packing after his big mouth got him into trouble with Rumsfeld. This guy is an ass hole. There is a story on him in the latest Disabled Veteran magazine. Everything I read on the ass hole screamed another damned WESLEY CLARK!!!
He is like Obama, an Hawaian Affirmative Action Clinton stooge.
I saw nothing in the latest DAV mag that mentioned this move. Just the glowing article on Shinseki pledging ‘reform’.
Ohhhhhh...Noooooo...not another Weasely!
The previous head of the VA, James Peak was very very very dedicated to the vets!
He would do surprise visits to VA clinics and vet centers to just talk to vets in the waiting room to ask how things could be better at the VA. He also pumped in new services and staffs for PTSD,way more mental health services, launched the VA National suicide Hotline with VA suicide Prevention coordinators across the nation! In one year...2007 he added 3500 new mental health providers to the VA!
so sorry to see him go!!
