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?

And those running the VA have NEVER served in the U.S. military !!!!!!!!!!
As one who has been dealing with the VA since 1978 I can say that most of what is written in the “article” is unsubstantiated BS. I have received good care through the VA — mostly VERY good care — for nearly 50 years. And if you visit VA hospitals and clinics you will find that most of those visiting for treatment or meds are quite satisfied with their care. It’s not perfect, nor as timely as one would hope, but that is more due to lack of funding than lack of compassion or efforts.
Douglas Meeds Who do YOU want to have running VA hospitals — Medical professionals or your former Drill Sgt? I met some good men in the Army … and some pretty poor ones … of all ranks. But I don’t think I would trust the medical care of Vets to someone whose entire work experience involved sending troops out to get killed or trying whatever they can to move their own name up the list for promotion.
Why can’t they train some of our homeless veterans to work there. They understand what they go through and how it affects them.
I remember when I was in so much pain for a period of 3 and a half years the VA said that there was nothing I or they could do for my condition and had better get used to the pain. Deciding I was not going to live on the couch and bed I went to work on the computer and discovered a cure for the irritable bowel syndrome. After I took one tablet of this medication I was better in a half hour! They rush you in and out to see the doctor and they act like they are doing you a favor!
make me wonder why anyone would even consider serving in the united states military to be treated like this after being wounded?
It tears my heart out. We should send Obama to Iraq. He is the one who is a chicken
this is a damn shame1
Sounds to me like we need to gut the entire agency and get people in there that really care about the help these vets are coming there to receive.They are not looking for a handout just quality medical care from the agency that was set up to give it to them for the scars and trauma of the godforsaken wars and other places they were sent to fight for us and our rights and freedom we seem to so easily take as we do a shot or as a pill given to us by our own doctors or nurses in the private practices we all must go to at some time or times.We should be ashamed as a nation for treating them like they have been treated and the Eagle sheds tears for them as well as us seeing and watching it happen daily.
I’m beginning to believe it…My X goes to the VA in Orlando, and about a month ago, he was out by his car, and he heard shots being fired. He looked around and this guy had just come out of the VA and shot himself 3 times, Twice in the chest & 1st in the stomach. It turned out that he had just been denied his benefits again…But what’s strange is that it was never on the local news that I know of…I watch the news all the time…????
