RE: The VA.... One veterans rant on the system.
I, too, am appalled at the way this country treats our veterans. (Only one of many appalling things to be honest.) These are not the values I support. This is not the country I want to live in. I don't know where this detachment and apathy came from but it needs to stop. I have heard true stories of veterans literally dying waiting for help that never came.
The scandal about this a while back threatened to make things better. It gave us a chance. But evidently it didn't happen. I don't know what it will take. My thoughts and sympathies are with you. (I know. They're not worth much.)
I totally agree with everything you said here and I appreciate the sentiment. This isn't a country i can even be proud of anymore so I know what u mean.
The truth is they have had quite a few chances to fix VA issues in the last decade and it seems like every election candidates (from both sides) talk about improving things for veterans but when they get in office it doesn't matter to them anymore, they just wanted the votes, it's honesly two sides of the same coin..
It makes me sick that they have unlimited money for military and wars but can't even take care of the veterans properly! Wtf? So many things wrong with this system and unfortunately I don't see them getting better until we have a system reset and focus on humanity rather than war.
Thanks for another thoughtful comment, I always enjoy reading them. Take care. 😊
