It's hard to believe, but the VA as a whole, seems to be even worse now than it was in the 60's when..........well, 'nuff said.
It is worse than you think.

Back in February when all those stories of contempt for the American soldier were published, top management then began taking revenge on volunteers and other who were suspected of blowing the whistle. Not only would a soldier lie in his own urine. Those who tried to change things even 3 years ago where instead attacked as the enemy. But then this is the kind of government that would also lie about Saddam's WMDs, define an axis of evil, and ... well where was the scumbag president when he knew a category five hurricane was bearing down on New Orleans? He flew to CA for a campaign fund raiser.

Contempt for the American soldier? That was obvious years ago when he was declaring "Mission Accomplished".

It was almost impossible for little people to affect change. Too many Americans so hated this country as to instead believe crap from Rush Limbaugh. Therefore attacking whistle blowers even in 2004 was situation normal for George Jr's dictatorship. Yes it is that much worse. Walter Reed is only how much of the iceberg? How much deeper does the contempt lie?
