Relax, it was during their lunch break that was in their union contract so he just had to wait.
Apparently, the employees of the Veterans Administrations cannot be relied upon like a solder would from his buddies in combat. That tells you everything you need to know about this country’s government and the people who enshrined it.
I guess you could say you can’t fix stupid but with all these types of stories of vets left to die in one way or another, it looks like a policy of the VA to me.

This is inexcusable.
