My dad is having a hell of a hard time with the V/A. It's really sad all the hoops that an 85 year old Korean War vet has to jump through to get simple treatment. The constant calls for paperwork, mistakes and misinformation with follow up "corrections" is confusing and tiresome. The whole thing should be turned over to the private sector. If the government will pay for health care for welfare bums that can go about anywhere they please for any sort of treatment they want, then the damned government should allow our veterans the same opportunity for quality health care. It's maddening wading through the red tape and BS for little to no treatment.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
