Another veterans scandal hit the Obama administration Wednesday with the emergence of an internal Veterans Affairs memo that allowed bureaucrats to cook their books and assert they were answering diligently President Obama’s call to reduce the backlog of veterans’ benefits claims. The memo was known inside the VA as “Fast Letter 13-10,” and a government watchdog said Wednesday this “flawed” guidance from VA headquarters in Washington deliberately resulted in making the agency appear it was delivering services and benefits to veterans faster than it really was.

Seems an impeachable offense to me. But I wouldn’t expect anything out of the jackals in Congress.

This maltreatment of our Vets is Bullsh*t.

I feel fortunate that I am in a great VA healthcare system here in Washington State.

If the little peoe have to suffer for the glory that is the Obama so be it. No price is too high and no suffering is too much for the glory of Obama. Besides. The democrats will just blame the sequester.

Boehner/mcconnell...where the are y’all? Obama does’t give a flip. He’s partying with the 1% while military veterans are neglected.

Your care is good, but; that can change very fast. The VA has decided to just about cut off all pain meds and also all tranquilizers. The real problems are the wait times for appt’s. They have gotten better as last year we had a 120-180 plus day wait for neurology, longer for a neurosurgeon, and urology was 180 days. They have cut that down, but; the VA is never going to be as good as private medicine is.
