Clearly caring for US citizens after their military usefulness is over, isn't a priority for the US government.

I'm outraged, but I can't imagine how the vets must feel: to have risked their lives to protect the US and then to be essentially told to fuck off.

I always thought that VA admission, GI bill, and other benefits should be tied to discharge papers. This would be enough incentive to get this backlog taken care of.

The VA budget has been reduced by the same congressmen that sent our veterans to war with the promise of we will take care of you. Where are all the flag wavers that proudly had their “we support our troops” bumper stickers, why aren’t they hounding their congressmen to support the VA, or do the just want their taxes reduce and say fuck you to the vets we don’t need you any more?

They're now allowing veterans to recieve reimbursement if they've waited for a certain number of days ( a month or two if I remember correctly).

Any progress seems to be bullshit because people are leaving the waiting list by reimbursement and by dying. Now I hear that they're blocking the waiting list... It's all bullshit to make some statistic look good.

To parrot the best summation of this I've heard, this country always has the resources to go to war, but not to take care of those who served it.
