"Part of the problem with VA hospitals may be the penchant of current officers to want new toys over caring for their predecessors. They know that officers will get better care than what is often provided at the VA."

Wrong. VA and DOD are separate entities, on completely different budgets. Active duty people go to a military medical system, veterans to a VA system. Sometimes co-located, but separate entities with separate budgets.

I especially take umbrage at your statement that officers get better medical treatment than enlisted. That is totally untrue. The same level of treatment is afforded to everyone in the system.

"even during the boom"

So you ADMIT that there WAS a boom during the Clinton years?

Not much of a "boom" BEFORE or SINCE, right???

It was BUSH that put ALL those kids into the VA hospitals with his moronic Iraqi adventure, was it not?

Like 30,000 wounded??????????????????????????????
