False outrage from politicians after not fixing the VA

So and tired of the bullshit outrage over what happened at the VA that it makes me sick to my stomach.


Are there problems veterans face? Absolutely but the people doing most of the complaining right now don't want you to know how long all of this has been going on and it has gone on for decades. THEY DIDN'T FIX IT WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO DO THE RIGHT THING! So no, they don't get a free pass as if they didn't cause all of this a very long time ago.

Here are some headlines but the shocker is the dates on them. Click the links to see how far back they go. Treat it like a treasure hunt because veterans have been feeling lost for far too long.

Imagine what should have happened if all the outraged politicians actually did something way back then to fix the system they complained about because veterans were that important to this nation. Isn't it strange they never admit what they didn't do when they had the chance to do the right thing?

Veterans have waited decades because politicians only seem to care when it is time to get their votes.
