Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Watchdog finds ‘systemic’ problems at VA, top Republican calls for Shinseki to resign

I'll be medically retired here in at the end of July minus PTDY//Terminal Leave, and will be talking to the VA about a major surgery that I would like to get done ASAP due to the amount of PT I'm going to have to do since the Army/WTB decided to not let me extend to get it done and just boot me off to the VA. Hopefully I won't have to wait a year so I can get Voc Rehab started....

I agree that Shinseki isn't sole to blame for this disgusting situation, but as Billy pointed out, he is the Director. It's just really sad that veterans had to die in order for the government to actually start giving a fuck. Also, wasn't Shinseki the general who took the black berets away from Ranger Reigment and gave them to Big Army?
