If I as a suffering disabled vet got caught fooling around with my VA pain med script I would be sitting in jail. I would never be able to get pain meds again from the VA and I might have my disability reduced. This nurse got off light.

John I am with you if we abused our VA drugs they would want to throw us under the jail take out checks away and ban us from the VAMCs let alone have the prosecutors "arguing for probation" he took meds for a "dead man" he denied pain ridden vets from getting all of the pain meds they needed for his own personal use and he is the "victim" and is remorseful? How about the veterans he kept in pain to fulfill his own addiction? Where is their justice?

it is punishments like this that makes many vets question who the good and bad guys are......
