Didn't the last head of the va have to fall on his sword to take the blame? Didn't obumble say he was cleaning up the mess? Who will he fire this time? I wonder how the media will spin it? Its no surprise the military hates obumble but you won't see that story in the media either.

The internal investigation by the Veterans Administration reveals that one third of veterans seeking health care from the VA die before being seen.
A review of veteran death records provided to the Huffington Post found that, as of April, 847,822 veterans were awaiting healthcare and that of those, 238,647 were already deceased.
The report was handed over by Scott Davis, a program specialist at the VA's Health Eligibility Center in Atlanta
He also sent copies to the House and Senate VA panels and to the White House.

Yet another example of why the government should be in charge of all health care

The people that are so quick to send young men into the battlefield never seem to have the same enthusiasm for fixing the damage once they come home.

Mostly it has absolutely nothing to do with any war injury. Any veteran can go to the VA for anything his whole life. War wounds are not the issue.

Every time obumble screws up he makes someone resign and accept the blame. The bum grabs all the credit anytime something goes right but when it falls apart, he knows nothing about it.
