Democrats Call For VA Head Resignation

Posted by | May 21, 2014 18:09 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


Two Democratic congressmen, David Scott and John Barrow of Georgia  have called for the resignation of Veterans Administration Secretary Eric Shinseki.

​”The first person we need to fire is the secretary of Veterans Affairs, Mr. Shinseki himself,” Scott said. ​”I respect his sacrifice, I respect what he did, but it’s under his watch that we’re in this situation in the hospitals.”

Scott detailed a visit to a local veterans hospital where patients were committing suicide, and accused VA officials of lying to him and covering up another incident that was later exposed.

    This mess has been brewing for a long time, and I doubt it could be fixed in short order. It’s going to take time and Shinseki should be given another chance to make some headway.
    We have two wars worth of veterans as well as a more than a few Viet Nam vets to deal with. I’ve seen a few Korean vets at the VA as well. That ‘s a sizable clientele to deal with in an efficient manor.

      Obama doesn’t give a f**k about vets. He pretends to be angry and vows to look into it. It’s already been investigated thoroughly and heads should be rolling at this point.
