Heroic Veteran From Oregon Shooting Just Glad He's Not In VA Hospital

Chris Mintz considers himself truly blessed when he thinks about his brothers and sisters in arms who are still suffering through the VA healthcare system.

At the same time this statement is funny and sad.

Let's be honest, its not all the VA throughout the US are that bad, the one that I'm going to here isn't really that bad at all, I think it's just how the director manage it.

I think that would be a very sad commentary Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS if it were true :-)
Thankfully, this is a DuffelBlog story which seems to be the military version of the weekly world news :-)
That being said DuffelBlog seems to have morphed from National Lampoon and not the National Inquirer :-)
On a serious note, I receive excellent treatment at the VA medical Centers which treat me from the doctors, nurses, technicians, admin and janitorial people.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS I laughed my ass off when I first saw this come through on their feed. This is one of those with enough truth to it that it could pass the test. Satire is hitting a little close to the mark.
