I can't remember when I've seen better 'real leadership' in action as of late. The VA system is a disgrace imo (although I have no first hand info), and our veterans deserve better. I was recently talking to a high school buddy (who retired from the Navy a few years ago), and health care came up. I brought it up that he had the med stuff covered, and he stated that there was no way in hell that he would use the VA...he pays for his own health care instead. We Americans deserve better...
