RIP Daniel.

You have fought the good fight. You have finished your course. You have kept the faith. (2 Tim 4:7)

Your eternal reward awaits you; may your joy be full.

Unfortunately mistreatment of our vets is not an impeachable offence.

No problem mac daddy is mad as he**. He will address this problem in due time but there are other thing that are more important like golf, parties, tax payer funded vacation, giving speeches full of lies and waiting for endless findings performed by sock puppets within his corrupt administration.

In other words do not hold your breath waiting for him to do ANYTHING o you also will die.

Just read some of the comments--they were definitely worth the read. Many from veterans themselves, but many from people who are absolutely fed up with Obama and his admin's treatment of our vets.

The video from CNN was powerful; even more so the comments!

Too said and maddening to read or view!

The federal government has just collapsed on its own weight after 60 years of bad legislation. In the case of the VA, Unions run it and until that changes NO ONE can change the status quo.

A President can be impeached for committing high crimes and misdemeanors". Its up to Congress to decide exactly what that means.

So, could a President be impeached for mistreatment of vets ??? You bet.

What was McCain doing while this was going on? I would think the VA in his state would be a bigger concern than his beloved illegal aliens.

VA will never be fixed as long as the administration pukes are union. Same thing for our epic fail education system. Unions are much better for profit-making industries, but public sector unions are a terminal cancer.

I’m glad I’m one of the (two out of three) vets that does NOT use the VA healthcare system.

America, if you want to know what socialized medicine (Obamacare) will look like, take a look at the VA.

There will be many American veterans in Normandy, France. I hope they have the courage to boo, or turn their backs on him....or at least boycott or ignore POTUS Obama. Protocol dictates that USA Military personnel must follow respect for their commander-in-chief when on duty or in assembly....but private American veterans on their own time have no obligation to do the same!!!

Having someone’s six somehow wasn’t meant to mean having him six feet under.

A pretty good compilation where someone took Reagan’s speech with historical video/ photos of WW II.
