According to an anonymous VA whistleblower, corruption is so ‘overwhelming’ throughout the VA and those in charge are so corrupt and psychotic that their attitude is summed up in one statement he heard from one VA supervisor:
“Older veterans should be taken outside and shot in the head because they’re worthless.”
He describes the Dept. of Veterans Affairs as a place where supervisors across the board are not giving care to vets in order to ultimately line their wallets and everyone under them scared to do anything about it. Sounds like the rest of our government doesn’t it?

This nothing new…it has been the problem since the Nahm war returning vets were refused help for chemical poisons used there …agent orange etc…..OTHER PEOPLES LIVES ARENT WORTH ANYTHING
their day is coming when these people in charge will be old and helpless, and treated worse then they treated our heroes, if that would be possible.
I worked for the VA a while back and found it to be a very caring place for the veterans. However, they changed how the VA got their funding. They had to meet a quota and whatever money they could save became a bonus. The bonus system seems to have created leaches in the VA. My husband has had very good care. The problem has been getting doctors to man the clinic here. They come but don’t stay. He hasn’t been able to see a doctor for three years. I got him in to see my primary doctor and with our Health insurance and Medicare we are very happy with the arrangement. He finally has an appointment with the VA to update his medications in Dec. It is nice not to have to worry about his medications – they arrive every month on time.
If this is true and our great men and women who serve this country are so disregarded we have a serious problem in this country, All vets should be shown the most respect and care and love.
I retires 37 years ago.I learned later I could not use military medical, my family and I would have to use something like “Champus”use civilian medical.I was lucky, I was working with a number of military retirees who warned me to never go to the VA.So all I’ve used is the retainer check.I remember in 1971-72, congress tried to stop retirees from getting the first retainer check until they were 62 years old.Congress went on increasing their benefits to 174000. dollars a year for life, for only four years in office.
There are lots of good caring doctors and nurses some of the staff not so much.
Yep – Congress – always there to line their own pockets, never there for the military and vets.
You can’t take it with you. You will be in there shoes also some day do you want to shot at there age. It is not your say it is Gods he said I know when you are born and now when you die. Not them or anybody else.
PATHETICALLY SAD!!!!
They fought for our country and should never be forgotten.
