I agree with Bronco. But go one step further. Replace Shinseki with a hardnosed CEO from the private sector. Someone with years of experience who can actually get the job done. Heads need to roll, but under the present cronyism, it's a pat on the back and a 'Do better next time'. All the smoke and mirrors we are seeing now won't get any better until the VA is run like a business.

I respect Shinseki as a fellow vet, but he does not have the leadership qualities to be VA Secretary.

He really didn't have the qualities to be a general either.. but look how far he got under our system.....

[Teac]

Well... 347 Million dollars down the drain?...... As a prior computer specialist I fail to understand why it takes so many dollars and still nothing works properly. And isn't it just like the government to award 2 contracts for the same job...with too many people patting themselves on the back, while veterans claims still go undecided.....Well lets face it guys, this administration doesn't do anything correctly.. hell they can't even blow their own noses with out it costing the tax payers something... about the only thing they do well is tax the hell out of the people and then say they still don't have the funds to do what needs to be done... go figure.....

@Teac

Maybe a small chunk of C-4 would help with the nose blowing. Might even blow some sense into thier pea brains.

Seriously though, now that they have wasted 347 mil in contracts on something that doesn't work, why not try something different.

Offer a prize (20 mil or so) to the first college that presents the VA with a tested, fully operational program that can accurately handle any claim. I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't take 4 plus years to to get one.

Hello All,,,,

Jbasser....SWTCC...... that is so funny and has made my day with a chuckle. I agree with all the comments. We are all in trouble and its going to be a way to shut down all Veterans claims ,,,,individually but collectively as a whole. NEVER GIVE UP . God Bless, C.C.

[broncovet]

Yes. Basser, instead of profanity can we call it "Bassers SWTCC"? This is a new acronym for the books.

I wished that the President would replace the current secretary. Do away with him just like the Army got rid of his black berets...

Putting someone in that position with a business background would accomplish more in 6 moths than what he has "said" he has done in 4 years which is nothing but created more havoc in our veterans life.

It has been said many times on this site, and I don't mind repeating it, but if you don't have PTSD from your service, you will definately have it after dealing with the VA. No better words have ever been spoken!
