Iraq War Veteran Daniel Somers survived over 400 combat missions only to return home to a “system of dehumanization, neglect, and indifference.” He ended up killing himself last year after receiving treatment from the now infamous Phoenix VA hospital.

McCain hates vets. He voted to stop searching for MIA troops in Vietnam. He loves WAR, but not the men who fight it! He is despicable! He never speaks of our men who are giving their all!

I got the point in the photo of our past presidents being military but NEVER EVER include odumbo and Clinton “The Clown” in the same category as ANY American Vet.

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

...and that should be the constant refrain for every true conservative running for office.

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

As Commander in Chief, isn't it dereliction of duty to not protect them from the abuses of the VA?

On Fox news this morning they had 360 pages of Union rules and guidelines for the VA. Workers are not allowed to be reassigned to other areas where needed, they have to take their breaks, start and leave on time promptly regardless of patients waiting, etc.

Now of course, Union is asking for more employees- you know so that they will reap more union dues to elect more Democrats to office.

She said the fix would be to allow Vets to go to any hospital and get the care needed; the government would pick up the costs.

But of course, Union will not allow this and will scream that they will not fund the elections for Dems if they even consider it...

I just CANNOT believe what an opportunistic POS this POTUS is, let’s jump on Air Force 1 run to the beaches of Normandy and ACT like I care about the VETS!!!!

Of course the ONLY reason he's going to Normandy is because of the VA scandal. And his speech will, as usual, be all about himself. Something like: "As I stand on these beaches, I think about all the challenges I have faced..."

Thank you!

Went back and read yours. Seems we were almost saying the same thing!

“Effectively” we were!

Thank you for the link. Somehow, I had never heard this great speech of President Reagan’s.

They also read some of Somers’ heartbreaking suicide note on the air. In addition to writing that his body had become “nothing but a cage, a source of pain and constant problems,”

Maybe all employees of the VA should be denied medical care for TWO days after an accident. Let the little shits learn what it feels like to 'wait' in pain for two days. Then re-question them about their criminal 'waiting' lists. Oh, and this includes 'doctors'...
