Anyone paying attention should've realized the slippery slope we've been on since the first Confederate statue was removed. The VA was shamed into rescinding this dumbass idea..this time.

They will just do it without saying a word and hopes nobody notices.

I’ll notice. And I suspect I will have a lot of company.

“non-consensual act...is inconsistent with the VA’s no-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and assault”
Yet the same people are just fine with insane MEN going into young teen girl locker rooms and parading around naked against the girls’ wishes. That is most definitely “non-consensual.”

This is the disgusting, filthy pig of a witch.
And she is the Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Operations, Veterans Health Administration. Shame. Shame. Shame.
But I take comfort in knowing veterans out there will give her the urinal Jane Fonda treatment. I know I am not alone in my disgust at her, and the people, all of them, who put her in that position.
Shame. Shame. Shame.

The X user known as EndWokeness posted the leaked memo Tuesday morning, generating widespread backlash and condemnation of the VA and its ludicrous decision. Our side's not going to go down quietly. Good for EndWokeness.

So who’s saying it’s not consensual? The only one that could make that statement is the woman in the photo... And I’m d*** sure on VJ. Day everybody was celebrating and partying.A lot of “Consensual”

VA undersecretary RimaAnn Nelson
By Benjamin Krause September 30, 2016: BREAKING – Rima Nelson, New Phoenix VA Director, Has Skeletons In Closet
Under the watchful eye of Rima Nelson, St. Louis VA closed twice due to serious medical safety issues. The facility also ranked dead last in patient satisfaction. Negligent medical practices also resulted in 1,800 veterans being potentially exposed to HIV.
I called the facility to verify her ascension to control at Phoenix. The email went out to workers at the facility yesterday. And below is what veterans and the workers at the facility get to look forward to after stress at the facility chewed up and spit out Deborah Amdur last month.
I can't seem to find any personal data about this woman.
To: Impala64ssa
Lawrence Verria and George Galdorisi, authors of The Kissing Sailor, a 2012 book about the identity of the subjects of the photograph that had become so famous, used interviews of claimants, expert photograph analysis, and identification of people in the background, as well as, consultations with forensic anthropologists and facial recognition specialists. They concluded that the woman was Greta Zimmer Friedman and that she was wearing her dental hygienist uniform in the photograph.
If she was, she never lodged a complaint about it.
To: Impala64ssa
This whole thing was allegedly brought forward by complaints from VA staff;
I’m going to suggest that all FReeper VA patients wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the image to their next appointments and beyond.

"VA Axes Secret Plan To Hide Iconic V-J Day Photo Over Lack Of ‘Inclusivity’" The lack of Japanese in the photo is appaling.

Remember the two firemen who removed an American flag from a boat and hung it over the ruins of the World Trade Center in 2001?
The powers that be wanted to erect a statue depicting these two men, but they wanted one of the men to be black. In reality, these two men are both white.
Un uproar ensued, and I believe the powers that be back pedaled.

I seem to recall they found out who she was some years back, and she was quite proud of that moment!
She should have been. An iconic moment of human joy.
My disgust with this scummy 2nd rate, Affirmative Action, grifting, good for nothing, seagull administrator knows no bounds.
If I knew where she worked, I would purchase a bunch of urinal pads to put in every urinal in the facility.
