The VA is silencing those who fought for our freedom
Reporters and watchdogs are digging deeper than ever into the VA’s faults and finding more and more egregious scandals — however, few are more egregious than what staffers at the Los Angeles VA have been caught doing:
“The government watchdog for the Department of Veterans Affairs reported Monday that it was able to substantiate claims that the VA’s Los Angeles office was sending mail from veterans to the shredder.”
Not only were they shredding mail that officials had taken the time to read — they were also shredding UNOPENED mail. Instead of reading the letters veterans had taken the time to write and send, the Los Angeles VA was sending those letters from the VA mailbox straight to the shredder.
Concerned Veterans for America CEO Pete Hegseth summed up this scandal best when he stated, “Rather than make sure each veteran’s voice was heard, and each claim was handled professionally, VA officials instead effectively silenced those who fought for our freedom and security, casually sending their letters to the shredder.”
How much worse does this scandal need to get to wake America up to the fact that the VA needs reform?
