The country loves to play their hollow 'patriotism' when it comes to cheering on wars and using veterans, the very few ordered into that serve them, of as their pawns like them magnetic ribbons, but pay for all that Not So Much! As the media and then those served pile on with condemnation of their responsibility, the Veterans' Administration!
Following a certain political ideology, loves rubber stamping war costs, off the books and on the credit card, seeking to privatize the agency, for profit, for decades, and especially the past decade plus, while Never comparing the VA, with the decades and wars of, underfunded in all that, to same privatized care system, especially private hospitals rolling in cash. As they fully support the gross compensation of the owners, investors and executives of same private sector health care facilities with no qualms except from those getting huge bills or higher insurance costs for all!
The VA supervisors, and under paid dedicated VA personal, not too mention the scores of no pay volunteers that without these facilities couldn't maintain the care needed, aren't getting bonuses because they're ignoring or covering up the same that happens in the private sector, but getting because of running facilities while giving great care, and with wars being fought adding to the needs and with underfunded budgets, and in greater numbers.
Did these brothers die because of or did contamination's within the underfunded facilities, as same sought out the contamination, especially legionaries disease which has been found to be allusive in the private facilities, contribute to their already weakened bodies, reasons they were being cared for, maybe trials will find out, doubt it though. But you're staying away from the real story and reports of, look in your mirrors, especially the high priced reporters, how much in tax cuts are you banking as two more wars were fought, the majority had theirs burned out their exhaust pipes, even if one doesn't drive but eats and more, before the tax cut bills were signed!
