VA beaurocrats get bonuses while vets suffer.

Not surprising, but still pretty annoying.

It's annoying because these aren't Wall Street types who's only purpose in life is to get rich at the expense of others. These are VA personnel, who's job, theoretically, is to make sure the people who fought out wars (So certain people could remain rich, I suspect) get the health care they deserve.

Had they actually been getting the care, I wouldn't throw a fit over the bonuses. They're not getting the benefits however, because there's too much paperwork.

Maybe if we hired some more people with that bonus money the people who are actually worth something would get their benefits.

The bank mess was bad, but this is the VA. Maybe it's as worthless as some vets say it is. I still remember the Walter Reed reports.

People make a big show about respect for veterans these days, but I guess a lot of it is talk. At least at the higher levels.

Wars are expensive, but then there's the cost of the vets years afterward. Maybe someone should factor that into the math before we go marching off to places.
