Shouldn’t that be an “Eye of Color?”

You can bet they’re looking into the racial breakdown of vets and their treatment.

And the racial breakdown of VA management

I have been paying my dues to the American legion for years.
NO MORE.
They have been dead silent on this, and they had to know.

Not sure what you think they’d hope to find. The military is a forerunner for race relations. The truth outs in a functional system and the truth is that race in meaningless when it comes to jobs well done.

There are jobs to be done in the military. And they either get done or someone else will come in and do them. There might be racism and sexism as the low side of human nature will be everywhere, and there is a particular coddling of those nearing retirement allowing them to do nothing if they choose, but those in the military realize they do not Ned’s nor therefore do they depend on the race hustlers who thrive in the inner city.

Those guys never enter into the fray where the military is concerned. And they are not needed

And they will not find any racism regarding treatment at the VA. As disappointed as they would be. They won’t even look for it. They know

Obama’s VA murders 100 Military Veterans, Obama is really angry while he patiently waits for a Report because, you know, he really cares.

Nutcase Liberal Violent Video Playing Masturbating Murderer raised by his Nutcase Liberal Atheist Parents stabs three people to death and shoots three people to death, change the Constitution by eliminating the 2nd Amendment.

I think that pretty much wraps up the State of the Nation.

Did I mention how sad it is that the Nutcase Liberal Violent Video Game Playing Masturbating Murderer took the Kanye West / Kim Kardashian Wedding off the Front Page of the NYT? It is indeed a sad day when the shine comes off that Apple.

Not entirely silent. http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/05/politics/veterans-groups-seek-shinseki-resignation/

Plus, they’ve been up to their necks in IRS audits:
