I voted I don't use it as I view the site on a mobile device and don't see it...

[Philip Rogers]

I don't use it, nor do I text, use a smart phone, or "like" any posts, as I just won't take the time for all that BS. I don't do selfies, either! jmo

Probably keep it. I can not see how it would benefit Veterans to get rid of it. I also can not see how using it would harm Veterans. Therefore, keeping it seems like the best option because it may help but it wont hurt Vets.

Lots of Vets "fall through the cracks" as they dont "fit" the VA's criteria for whatever reason. In fact, most of us here have "fallen through the cracks" at VA.

In my case, I "fell through the cracks" because Va did not know what to do with me, as they had shredded my evidence. It was the classic, "keep passing the buck, I dont know what to do"...for VA employees. Many Vets had shredded evidence and were denied because of it.

The Va was supposed to "take my word for it" when the Va was found guilty of shredding. However, the culture of denial is strong, so VA employees naturally assumed I was not telling the truth when I sent paperwork in. Of course, they also assumed those VA employees "would never harm Veterans" by shredding their evidence. Yea..right. A VA "employee" badge automatically makes you trusted, while military service makes you a liar, automatically.

Don't use it much but I vote to keep it as long as you don't need the space for something more important.
