If you needed any more proof that the federal government has completely and utterly failed our veterans, look no further than the following story.
After investigating Department of Veteran Affairs conduct around the country, the agency’s inspector general released a report that shows staff at at least six different regional offices had ordered documents pertaining to benefit claims of veterans to be shredded.
More specifically, out of 155 claims-related documents covered in the report, 69 were set aside for destruction by department workers. So basically, if you’re a veteran, there’s a 45% chance that paperwork dealing with your benefits was scheduled to be shredded.
Now you would think there would be ironclad rules and regulations to keep this sort of thing from happening, but as the IG observes, there are basically no sound policies “prevent[ing] VARO [Veterans Affairs Regional Office] staff from potentially destroying claims-related documents.”

As a veteran waiting for a claim to be adjudicated. This fucking pisses me off to no end. Time to FIRE them ALL. And you wonder why 22 veterans a day on average kill themselves. VA MOTTO: DELAY OR DENY UNTIL YOU DIE.
Anyone involved should be in Leavenworth busting rocks from dawn to dusk for at least 10 years.
Do away with VA. Let them go to what ever hospital or doctors office they want.
