The V.A. incompetence, and corruption, are now all over the news, with the demand Shinseki resign, or is fired.
What? From everything I'm reading, this activity was hidden by the minions of the V.A. and even the White House knew there were complaints, but didn't act. Why are they after him?
I want him to stay, expose the vermin, fire those that need to be fired, recommend prosecution for those that need to be prosecuted, and those that worked with these reprobates to come forward; now that they have a forum to voice their grievances and absolve their name of the dishonor that hangs over all involved with Veteran's Administration.
If this happens, the families of some veterans will have closure, suffering veterans will be treated and the damned media will be forced to put away their cheerleader outfits, or face the wrath of those that respect veterans.
The VA needs to be fixed. Those responsible for the unforgivable treatment of the Vets need to lose their heads. One scapegoat resignation will not accomplish this.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has the tiniest idea of where to start, it's Shinseki. If he refuses to act, then firing isn't the solution, since he would be part of a criminal conspiracy that led to death.
DeleteI agree Jess. Keep him. He'll do the right thing. Or face worse than retirement.
DeleteAs a retired four star general, the repairs should be an easy task.
DeleteTerms such as malpractice, criminal negligence, homicide, etc come to mind. Yes, there should be a thorough investigation and charges such as murder or negligent homicide applied if or when applicable and followed with criminal prosecutions and lengthy prison sentences.
ReplyDeleteBut the VA it's a subsidiary of the feral government so none of the above will happen. After all, it'd be difficult to prosecute anyone involved when what happened is what the government has in mind for all of us with the implementation of Obamacare.
Obama surrounds himself with incompetent people, and these people perpetuate the farce. To do otherwise will expose their incompetence, and they'd rather follow the path of dishonor, instead of doing what's right.
DeleteThings like with will continue if all the have to look forward to is being fired. All those concerned need to be prostituted. And severely. Only if their freedom is threatened will they stop and think about their actions... hopefully. But you know, Obama has not fired anyone concerned with all his scandals.
ReplyDeleteShinseki served in Vietnam; even lost part of a foot, which makes his actions confusing.
DeleteI'd like to sit, and drink beer, with those that served with him. From that conversation, I'm willing to bet I'd have a better understanding of how he reached where he reached and whether he's just another political hack.
From my limited view, he's a token and little more.
Maybe it was the Peter Principle at work.
DeleteMaybe so, but the principle usually leads to the termination of employment years before someone can become a four star general or a cabinet member.
DeleteThen again, this is the government, which is known for astounding incompetence.
The Sec VA should not have resigned. He should have fired others. This problem was going on long before he arrived on the job. the problems will still be there on Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteThe problems still persist, and Obama is happy he has some relief from the pressure.
DeleteThe media is culpable, in my opinion, and has blood on their hands. The problems would have been solved if they were doing their job.
Nothing to add. The big government statists are provided constant cover from their complicit media.
DeleteThe media is manning the crumbling walls of failed policies. My thoughts are they're not far from abandoning their position and negotiating with the future conquerors.
