The Department of Veteran Affairs has failed so many women and men who have lost life and limb for their country. These soldiers have fought for the right to even have a place called the VA, and yet the bureaucratic nightmare that is government run medicine hurts those who have sacrificed their all.
A new report shows that men and women who have been less-than-honorably discharged are ruled ineligible for Veteran benefits. Former members of the military have been refused benefits at an alarmingly high rate since the inception of the system at the end of World War II. With more than 125,000 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, that have what are referred to as “bad paper” discharges, these soldiers are precluded from gaining access to care, said the report by the Swords to Plowshares advocacy group.
Read about Joshua Bunn, who has been denied care by the VA on the following page.
Under your pos obama .
half the disabled Vietnam Vets who have died went to the grave fighting for better medical care and the benefits they deserved. The government was able to save millions upon millions and spend it on parakeet research and racist attitudes and other quackery instead of veterans being able to live normal lives and overcoming their injuries. the other half of the disabled vets gave up and became alcoholics, drug addicts and homeless. Remember that children the next time they want you to go to war. If I had done the right thing I would be speaking Canadian now.
This is what happens all the time. Now that the va is scrutinised. Corruption is harder. So now there only recourse is cutting cost. So they will find all sort of reasoning to decrease the services. I live in Canada and we see this in every government service. Good thing we can always have private coverage for the things we really want. The only problem is we need to pay them twice. Well actually it’s 4 times. 3 times what it’s worth for the government pretend coverage. And once for the actual private coverage. Funny how the United States seems to feel left behind and is on overdrive to catch up to all of this great fun
Disgusting
Simply outrageous!
TRUMP 2016!
Obama is not the only to blame also blame the rest of the worthless$#%&!@*cowards that want stand up for vets an it’s dam shame how they are treated
We need to take care of our vets when they come home not all these illegals.
