The official spin on the VA Story-blame the soldiers and their families.
...for not letting the generals know...shame on those wounded warriors and their spouses and parents.

1. Of course it is their fault
First; If the soldiers would not have gotten themselves wounded, there would not have been a need for the hospital

Second; Since the soldiers are wounded, they should have had the fortitude to hide their wounds and go off in a corner for the rest of their lives.

Third and most important; If the families would not have made such a big deal out of the conditions, this would not have become a big media event and the government would be able to go merrily along doing what they do, screwing the veterans.

:sarcasm:

2. The US government is nothing more than a giant hoax....a con game..
The current US Government exists only to enrich the chimp clan and their cronies.

That's it!

3. Most Soldiers and Marines
fake their injuries and PTSD. Just ask any flag waving patriotic conservative. Besides more americans die in car wrecks so what's the big deal? And to top it all off, they are all volunteers so just whine us a river, while our brave President is doing his damndest to "protect" you.
