Well, everyone knows there's absolutely no correlation between early discovery, timely treatment, and survivability. WTF were they thinking ?

#3 How about a impartial jury of a dozen men and women to view the evidence? I sense that may yet come to pass.

#5 I mean, they were gonna die anyway, right? The causes were wounds or old age, yes? The VA certainly didn't cause that!

#7 Judging by the way the VA is handling my father-in-law (96, WWII vet, never got one thing from the VA)the VA plays a waiting game; waiting for old vets to die so they can repurpose the funds (to their bonuses).

#8 AA, that's the venue for civil damages juries. Make the award pool all future bonus for those GS10 and above.

#9 So I sat through a good portion of Bambi's speech toady ( at the Seattle VA center, as it were), and I restrained myself from calling 'Bulllsh!t" at each of the lies and half-truths he spewed. The assembled vets that were lucky (sarc) enough to have actual seats at the conference saw through his crap also; very little applause, and most of it was of the 'polite' variety.

#10 Just like they lost the records of every soldier exposed to a nuclear blast.

Same for Agent Orange support.
