Rep. Paul Broun: VA Scandal Shows Obama's 'Disdain' for Military
Newsmax ^ | 5/16/14 | staff

Posted on 05/16/2014 4:34:52 PM PDT by Nachum

The mushrooming Veterans Affairs scandal is indicative of the Obama administration's "disdain" for the military, U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia believes.

"This administration seems to have a disdain, maybe even a hatred for the military, as well as our veterans," Broun told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newmax TV.

"Just from the military perspective, I was talking … to a three-star Army general. He didn't have enough rounds of ammunition for his troops to go out to the rifle range and just requalify with their rifles."

"I've talked to pilots who don't have enough fuel for their helicopters, their jet aircraft, and their transport aircraft to stay current. This is totally unacceptable, and the American people need to rise up and say no to this administration."

Doctors working at VA facilities in Phoenix say managers ordered them to place chronically ill patients on a secret waiting list.

Broun is great. I hope he primaries Johnny Isaakson if he doesnt make the runoff.

He told Jack Kingston to condemn the Chamber.

2/3rds of the deaths came during his administration as he has restricted the military’s response to the enemy. He now wants to use the VA as a test bed to kill off Americans. obamacare is obama’s terrorist friend William Ayers dream come true to kill 25 million Americans so they - the socialists, can take power.

Fed up veterans and citizens in this country, it's time to rise up and let this ahole in OUR White House know he won't get away with his hatred for our military. obozo was the one who wouldn't let the WWII vets in to see the WWII Memorial during sequester..he was the one to turn them away and put up barriers. To hell with him and his middle finger salute to We the People. Military organizations of active and retired vets, moms and dads of active military and those being medically cared for in VA facilities, citizens in this country, it's time to get together and
and tell this pResident POS that he must support our military and its veterans and their medical needs NOW.

Looks to me that Obama Teflon seems to be wearing thin here lately. Maybe his new name should be Velcro Vito.

The left despises our heroes. They block their votes, they sell their grave plots in Arlington. They spit on them after wars. They use them to divert our attention and they take our brave service men and women’s credit.

They don’t support our troops or their missions.

Broun is correct, this administration doesn’t care about the military and the vets.

A personal VA horror story. My Ex Father in Law a real great Guy, WW2 Vet, Ex Pow AAF, 100% DISABLED, needed a heart valve.

He hasn't a pot to piss in and relies on the VA for medical care he was, at the time 85 years old. The VA turned him down and tried to yank his disability.

My dear Ex, curses be up on her, raised holy hell, I think being Lithuanian helps, he got the operation and we celebrated his 90th last year. If he takes after his Father a WW1 and Russo-Japanese War Vet he will hit a 100.

A blessing for his GGrandkids.

I’m with you. We are voting for Dr. Broun in the primary but likely will have to vote for Handel in a runoff to keep Perdue from becoming Saxby’s 3rd term.

A lot of people don’t know that Paul Broun is active in the reserves and was over in Afghanistan last year treating wounded soldiers. He is the real meal deal.

Great story, thanks for sharing. It also proves that you need family to advocate for you in any hospital.

Don't look for Congress.

This screams IMPEACHMENT to the highest rafters if only somebody had the cajones to put it in motion. Even if it didn’t result in a conviction it would certainly be a spot on Obama’s blue dress.

True, but we had the VFW, AMVETS, Legion, and DAV working with us also. The yelling starts at the family level but you have to network, I hate that term, there is help available if you want use it.

I've been in the VA system through several administrations and the care has been top notch regardless of the occupant in the WH.

I understand there are many here with a visceral hatred of this administration which is deserved, however attacking the VA is simply wrong in my opinion.

I have zero confidence that any politician can make this fine system any better but I am 100% sure that if it becomes yet another political football it will become much worse.

Vets need to stand up for Vets, there is a problem in some facilities, and it needs to be fixed.

But I don't fall for the rhetoric of the idiot politician, they don't have the best interests of the Veteran in mind. It is about them and their reelection and I don't give a sh*t who anyone on this board supports because the fact is, the politicians whether Dim, GOPe or Tea Party are going to sell the Vets out.
