I like to think that the recent events with the VA and me are just coincidence. For example, I had a review of my compensation and pension just recently. I never knew I was due for a review? I also received a phone call recently from the regional VA office. The person was very helpful and not to sound unappreciative, because I am not. I just find it ironic and somewhat coincidental. This site alone has has had nearly a dozen unique hits from VA.GOV.
I must explain that this documentary isn’t a hit out on the VA as a whole. Everyone can agree that not every aspect of the VA is broken. There are some great people who work within that organization. In fact I know a few and have become good friends with them. The problem isn’t at the top either. The problem is systemic and throughout. Almost like a cancer that has infested itself. I don’t have the answer to fix it but I will expose it as I see it. Provided people are doing their jobs and living by their motto…
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan,”
Abraham Lincoln said this on March 4, 1865 during his second inaugural address. If the VA or it’s members are failing to live up to this motto, it will be those people who will feel like the ass in the end.
