If they are not working as a paid VA worker, why should they get office space? "I get all my health care from the VA," Brian Mast, R-Fla says, "so I'm there regularly getting health care needs taken care of." So do I but the VA isn't giving me office space. If the have space, which it doesn't sound like they do, make him pay rent like he would for an office space in his district. I also think he tries to get sympathy votes since he likes to show his prosthetic legs all the time. And he isn't the only one, D Sen. Tammy Duckworth does it also.

As for his "showing off" his prosthetics, those people I know who have them, especially for lower limbs have said they tear up clothing like crazy so they tend not to cover them up when possible.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I can see that happening. I've just never seen some always wear short pants while in a suit.

SGM Steve Wettstein we had a triple amputee come and speak to us in a workshop and he told us about the issue with prosthetics. He also said since the prosthetics aren't flesh, they don't sunburn or need as much protection

No one has an entitlement to space in a VA hospital except those who work there.
