I listened to a conservanut veteran complain about the care he got and how "hundreds" of veterans he's "heard of" died at the hands of the VA.
Most of the people I've listened to that complain about the VA and how they got screwed are usually a slacker that's looking for a handout. A disability check.

I go to see my primary care every 6 months or so. I get my meds through the VA. I've had my disability raised and lowered. I've seen guys game the system. I've seen guys who know how the system works and make it work well for them and others.

I DO KNOW THIS: Lyin' Paul Ryan considers veterans using the VA system as welfare recipients. Any time a person receives government assistance, Ryan says it's welfare. Many conservanazis think the VA is a welfare system. They will not really say it in front of veterans, but they want to privatize the system and destroy it.
The conservanuts seem to forget that the wait time under bu$h/cheney was something like 14 months. When the noise kept hitting the news, the conservanazis decided to put more money into the system.
