Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America --Concerning VA funding

Two billion to rescue our ailing VA system as new vets flood the system? Not necessary. apparently.


"Republicans beat back a Democratic attempt to provide almost $2 billion in additional health care funding for veterans. rejecting claims that Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are in crisis."

VA hospitals are doing just fine. huh? Tell that to Jeremy Lewis or Denver Jones - just two of the thousands of Iraq vets who came home to months of bureaucracy and delayed treatment. But it's not just Iraq vets who think the VA needs some help.

Who is responsible for the current VA scandal when it was the republicans that prevented funding to manage what is happening right now?

The republicans played a huge role in all of this. And once again the republicans will shoot themselves in the foot using "a crisis" for political gain.

It really pisses me off to see our veterans going through this, and suffering from the war that G.W Bush created. Our government should of stepped up years ago, and it could of been negated only if the republicans had not made our veterans a partisan issue.
