VA Secretary Bob McDonald Likens VA Wait Times to Wating in Line at Disney World

[RetiredUSN]

Because it's true

Why do rightwingers make so many asinine accusations?

You can refresh the "whats new" button at any given moment and see the same silly crap from the left.

I'm sure you have a great deal to wonder about

I'd say that I wonder why rightwingers love to hide behind the flag, but I know it's because they're cowards

Cowards, you say. How many years did you serve? Did you go to BASIC training? Did you go to AIT? Do you know what IDP on your LES means? It's easy to call someone a coward but it means a lot more if you have the fruit salad on your chest and hash marks on your sleeve to back that up.

"Liberals do it too" is not an answer to my question - it's a childish retort from those who can't defend themselves.

More "hiding behind the flag". Why do rightwingers hate the military so much?

Can you show proof of this other than your one liner attacks?

That was all that was required to make my point.

You on the other hand accuse 47% of society as being cowards, and we both know that a accusation like that requires some explaining if anyone is to take you seriously.

You have no point

47%??!!!??

:lamo

The rightwing extremists who share your beliefs are nothing more than the fringe and they make up a very small share of the population

 

[American]

Because, unlike the pretend patriots on the right, I'm not oblivious to reality

Yes you are.

First, I'd like to point out that while the Secretary's words were insensitive at best, they were taken out of context.

Next, the 307,000 figure has been resoundingly debunked.

Then we have the IG's conclusion:

"Most of the pending records are old and inactive and many of them were misclassified."

Finally, the VA is overwhelmed with Iraq/Afghanistan returnees as well as aging Vietnam War vets. If only former presidents had earmarked sufficient funds to care for them and if only Congress would have approved our current President's funding requests fully.
