CORRECTION:

Saying, "the care given is awful", was unfair of me. I should have more correctly said that a lot of good people at the VA hospital were woefully underfunded and tried very hard to help, though their resources were very limited. It is difficult for them to endure knowing that a few more bucks would make such a real, positive difference. They do what they can with what they're given to work with. (Our Congress strikes again. )

Our injured fighting men and women deserve better, for sure!

Actually it is rather shitty; I don't use it any more for that exact reason.
