Last week a report came out that clearly showed more than 300,000 deceased veterans are currently still active on the VA's Health care enrollment list; And if that wasn't enough to piss somebody off and get them fired up about the total disregarding of our veterans, our government is displaying to veterans and their families,.. It came out that 600,000 more veterans are still waiting,.. How many more need to DIE until something is done?
And those who may be unaware of how far back this problem goes,.. I will take you back just a few years ago in Feb 2013 reports were put out that veterans were stuck in a 7 month backlog on disability claims. Break down of it: They were 821,966 claims pending and 71 percent (585,234) were still backlogged! Betch cha most of them are the ones now reported as being DEAD!!!
Cato Institute reported that the number of Veteran Affair employees grew 56 percent from 2000 to 2013 to 341,000 employees. Of the 341,000 employees, 90 percent are employed in the Veterans Health Administration. This makes absolute no sense to me at ALL, If they have 300,000+ VA workers daily Why are Veterans still waiting and dieing, months and years later, that's some messed up SHIT!!!
If I lived in the perfect world and I could run the VA for even 1 Month,.. This is what I would do. I would go in and tell the Va workers to get filed in a line,.. and walk their asses out! I would replace them with veterans & legit people who have PROVEN themselves to be dedicated to serving the veterans. Betch cha,.. the 300,000 on that list would be cleared and the ones waiting would start getting what they Need,.. and in Steadfast Time!
If our veterans can be trained to take on the challenges of fighting a war, then surely, no doubt in my mind they would better serve in the VA, than those VA workers serving now! The VA system is broke,.. and our most treasured people are losing their lives over it,.. It's Bullshit,.. and as long as we got these idiots in there running it and working there, who never served a day in their life,.. and who don't appreciate the care that need's to be given,.. Bottom line Thousands more will surely Die!!! And the VA knowing these issues existed over years and years,.. But didn’t take the appropriate measures to correct it,.. I look at that and I personally,.. Consider it murder,.. Even when it is a slow kill.
Well that’s my rant,.. And that’s how I feel and what I think. There is ALWAYS better ways of doing things,.. Sometimes you just gotta really shake shit up, hold people accountable and get the best plan in motion and put into place the best people to see things through to the end and who don’t half ass shit,…
Gotta say one more thing in closing,.. For those who may be unaware,.. The Warfighter community has grown to unbelievable numbers and within that community they have adapted to taking care of their own! Though developing their own small businesses, including their own line of clothes, brewery’s, products and services. They are film directors making the most real documentaries of truths, just on funding gathered by their supporters, there’s musicians and rappers,.. Who can put out the most straight up truths to what it like to be a warfighter, and to call persons out when someone is insulting the warfighter community and have the smarts to turn it into cash for fellow veterans!
And now we have many veterans seeking seats in higher office positions,.. Trust me They KNOW What needs to be done and They Can get the job done! They Are Warfighters!!! That’s just how they are built,.. It’s in their DNA.
And I’m just not blowing around false fairy tales of puppy dogs and rainbows,.. Nope sure ain’t. I’ve had the privilege and the Honor not only to work with hundreds and hundreds of veterans,.. Many I now call my friends, And because they are my friends, I Care,…. I see personal glimpses into their lives,.. The heart aches and challenges they face waiting to get what should have been given to them on Day One! Not to mention hearing the stories from families who had lost their loved one because the VA FAILED THEM!!! The Va is only responsive if they got a chance to push pills on our Warfighters!!! It’s just all Bullshit,.. And something needs to change!
