What is Really going on at the VA.

Hi Friends and Readers,
     In the past there have been some, even fellow Veterans who have said that I should be very thankful to the VA for all their services and help to me.....  and I AM thankful !   But, at the same time, I have not always received the respect and normal services that were "contractually allowed me" for my faithful service to the Gov't and Military.   I don't want nor demand any more than what was promised me when I enlisted, and for many years, I even chose to stand clear of the VA system,  but worked hard all my life and had good health insurance from my employers.   Yet, some of my REAL Veteran friends and 'brothers in arms' explained to me that the VA is NOT some kind of 'hand out' or charity thing,  but something that we all EARNED while we were serving our country, a CONTRACT that needs to be honored by BOTH sides/ parties !   In fact, it was the VA that demanded that we jump into their system with both feet and drop our old civilian doctors and health entities..... and so we did, or most of us.

The documentation cited below is just a taste of what is really going on behind closed doors....  all the abuses, cheating, lying, and theft.   Please be sure to share this with any and all other Veterans you know.  
Thank You.

Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman
