This should not be ignored

If a vet dies young from sucking off his gun they are off the hook for a lifetime of care. The VA was telling the familys of vets that died to lung problems from burn pits that it was psychosomatic. last year a vet protested the care at a VA hospitable with self immolation. i personally visited a VA once when i was without healthcare due to loosing my job due to a serves disability, it was a common treatable illness insted of testing i was told that it was to statistically rare in the veteran community (read age over 60) to bother testing. i was given medication that reacts poorly when a person has this illness and causes potentially deadly side effects. after being put in the hospital from being septic they went ahead and tested me. instead of being down for a week i was taken out for 3 months, and had life threatening side effects from wrongly proscribed medication twice.

if i ever felt that my mental health was spiraling out of my control the last people i would trust are VA staff.

apparently there are only a few bad apples and the VA is wonderfull.
