I HATE THE VA!!!!!....what a disgrace!!

[Grizzly907LA]

The people that work at the VA are for the most god awful and nasty towards veterans. They themselves are often veterans and look at the veterans that come there for help like they are scum.

fuck the war and the government, even the people who do get their "meds" always wind up killing themselves anyways, the pills they give them have chemcails 2 make them more depressed, sending alot over the edge, this saves the va money cause now they got less people they have 2 take care of, thats all it is man, war over oil and pushing people 2 the break so theres fewer and save a buck or 2, fuckin evil is what it is

[Superseadragon]

Fucking VA shits on our vets. I'm one of them.

[alrozz]

You know what is so sad is that I get 100% Service Connection for an illness I don't have instead of getting it for the illness I do have. It's a long story, but the fact is VA could not Service Connect me for my back injury during service, but they could service connect me for the mental from that back injury. It's so sad that I could not get Service Connected properly when there are literally thousands of veterans not getting anything. Va ruled me Incompetent  because they pay me.

typical brainless american idiots...

Me lost of use of left leg, limited right leg use, gulf war illness ever symptom total 30% $400 a month. Cant work but I have to so I work for goodwill since I cant really hold a job, thank you america- I now see what 14 years of faithful service and over a dozen medals means you you, not a damn thing.

@BigBry49 Yes I was telling a group of enlisted at a decom to make copies of all your records at least six months prior to discharge and make sure it's accurate, because things get lost. I think they do it on purpose though. Im 30% lost of the use of my left leg, limited right leg use, gulf war syndrome symptoms not addressed by the VA because they say it's mental (rash, intestinal problems, all the stuff). Ever see anyone with a rash thats mental?

@dwdrummr06 you should be thrown into a fire for lying about being the mans friend. no one thinks youre a hard ass for lying about something like that. 

[dwdrummr06]

Tyler Zeigle is a true hero along with all the other US solders. I'm a good friend of Tyler's and he is one of the most inspiring, loving, coolest people you could ever meet. He has been through so much yet his outlook on life is 100% positive! To the person who says his nose is fine and he doesn't deserve anymore disability than that, or anyone who has anything bad to say about Tyler or any war veteran, how un- American of you. You deserve to be thrown in a fire to burn slowly!

Thank you CNN at least someone has the guts to tellt he truth, thank you Dr. G your the true hero for helping us but it all goes on death ears. what needs to be done from our media is to warn the young not to serve because you will be wronged and put through a gambit of red tape and your politicians they dont care. I know, even writing the white house it is like writing a letter to santa.
