While I for one had a good experience with medical care while I was on active duty and while I for one have had a good experience with the VA...I personally know of dozens who have not...and on whole VA care has been...at times a national disgrace and a joke...and will continue to be in future times.

My best friend was medically retired from the Army. He was a mechanic on those missile trucks in Germany that had nuclear missiles on them. Seems one of them leaked, and now he has a condition called ?water on the brain? ? where the fluid in his skull fails to properly drain into his body, causing pressure to build up. This has nearly killed him a dozen times; He's had a dozen operations on his brain and has a shunt (a tube embedded in his head under his skin that goes from his brain to his bladder to drain out fluid). The VA has kept him alive for twenty-five years. I've been with him every step of the way and I've seen the care he's gotten first hand. It's amazing.
He should be dead now. But thanks to the VA, through a dozen emergencies and also a dozen operations on his brain, he's still alive.
