WOW I am totally amazed with all that is going on in the VA this is what we see. 2 Officials suspended. Where are the firings of the 1,000 plus that have been in the news. Am I the only one astounded that no word of people being canned, replaced and fined for all of the misdeeds they have done in the VA.

The whole VA breakdown is starting to make my stomach churn and want to upchuck over this mess.

Then we suspended these two and not fire them, Hell they'll be running the circus somewhere in the US in the next year and we wonder why it's a mess.

Sorry for the rant and rave. Someone needs to take charge of this dysfunctional outfit and soon. Thanks

They think that they won't get caught. It's hard to believe that they aren't correcting themselves. The other side may be that it was part of an on going investigation that finally finished up!

Of course the VA officials not only stated that they didn't think they did anything wrong, but they are currently administratively suspended WITH pay.

I think all VA officials should be immediately fired without pay and replaced by veterans who have the kind of experience needed to get things on the right track, which is TAKING CARE OF VETERAN'S MEDICAL NEEDS.

Sorry for yelling, but it's how I feel!
