The VA Yes Man Says 'No' to Disability Claims

The DAV, VFW and American Legion over the years have been as useful to combat veterans as tits on a boar hog

By Bill Smitts

I have been involved with veterans’ issues for over 30 years.

Strange as it seems the same crap was discussed in 1981 as now. Such as stressors. My impression always was PTSD was much more scary to the bean counters in congress then Agent Orange.

Not sure why but it sure seemed that way. Maybe they thought it might scare away recruits because of the fear of combat? Take the macho away?

It was then and I am sure now easier to write PTSD off as another illness, such as drug and alcohol use.

Back then the VA was run by morons. Oh, I am sure the VA had sprinkled among the morons some good people.

The VA was mostly ran by former Vet organization hacks like national commanders and retired generals. Today, as back then they had to be cloned yes men with government-controlled minds. That is why the DAV, VFW and American Legion over the years have been as useful to combat veterans as tits on a boar hog.

If you kept your mouth shut you might get a good government job or work at national headquarters of some vet organization. Some of these jobs are very well-paid.

Today, it is ran by educated civil servants who for the most part do not use their brains or common sense when dealing with claims.

Today, in the better-paid jobs in the VA and government you are not paid to think deeply about anything.
