It is not for nothing that countless scandals are erupting under the reign of Barack HUSSEIN Obama. Despite the growing list of treachery, many millions of American citizens become especially enraged, when its fighting forces are defamed and mistreated – by those sworn to have their backs! Such is the unending tragedy, under the boot of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, regardless of his blatherings, that, he too “appreciates” the sacrifices of American soldiers. Bullshit.
Obama Inc’s list, re their backstabbing of patriots, is endless. Yet, there is a common theme, a dark undertone: disdain for America’s soldiers, the symbol of U.S. hyper-power.
Along this trajectory, it is a fact that the army’s “down-sizing”, really its castration, is taking place under the regime’s hatchet. Not only that, as radical leftists are wont to opine, “downsizing” (in actuality, deconstruction) has everything to do with empty coffers. P L E A S E. For if this is even remotely true, how could it be that money ALWAYS magically appears, to fund green schemes and every other radical left pet project? Moreover, where is the money coming from to fund this and that overseas Islamic “outreach” and the “gifting” of heavy weaponry?
Back to the dying vets…and Obama Inc.’s absolute hand in their demise….
He said it appears the death toll, combining various reports, has passed 100 victims.
But if the above isn’t clear enough, well, this site pointed out their dangerous proclivities, predisposed towards active duty soldiers, as well as vets. The following was a foreshadowing:
Foreshadowing One:
What kind of monstrous regime places a bulls eye on the backs of vets and patriots?
Foreshadowing Two:
Moreover, when U.S. warrior of warriors, its SEALS, are stomped upon like yesterday’s garbage, what else does one expect their treatment of “regular” vets will be?
Foreshadowing Three:
Adding insult to grave injury, officers alike are placed in mortal danger! On the other hand, Muslim soldiers/officers are handled with kid gloves. Can you believe it? You better.
Foreshadowing Four:
As detailed, whatever the case, Obama Inc. plans to take down vets and patriots, even usurping the IRS to do its dirty work!
In this regard, why not get rid of as many vets as possible, scandal be damned?
Veterans scandal risks engulfing Obama
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is facing mounting evidence that some of the hospitals it runs have been keeping two sets of books to make it look as if they were reducing waiting times to see a doctor.
Richard Griffin, the department’s acting inspector general, admitted on Thursday that its review could lead to criminal charges. In the first political casualty of the scandal, Robert Petzel, the department’s undersecretary for heath, resigned on Friday.
If the evidence of mismanagement continues to accumulate, the Obama administration will find itself not in another partisan knife-fight, but under fire from both parties in a Congress where the uniformed military is venerated.
The veterans’ healthcare scandal is, in part, one of the unintended consequences of the wars in Afghanistan in Iraq, which have created “our 9/11 generation who have served with honour in more than a decade of war,” as President Barack Obama described them on Thursday.
More than 970,000 veterans from those wars have filed disability claims, taking the total enrolled in the VA system to 8.57m by the end of 2012.
At the same time, the healthcare system is dealing with the fact that many of the 6m veterans from the Vietnam era are now reaching the age when they start to require a lot of medical services. In 2010, the administration expanded coverage to exposure from Agent Orange, the chemical used during the war in Vietnam, prompting another surge of claimants.
The result has been a constant struggle to meet new demands, despite big spending increases. The budget for the VA has risen from $73.1bn in 2006 to $153.8bn this year. However, the number of outpatient visits at its facilities has increased from 46.5m in 2002 to 83.6m in 2012. “I am amazed this is still happening, given the big increase in resources that the department has received,” said Phillip Carter, a former army officer who researches veterans’ issues at the Center for a New American Security in Washington.

The VA, which runs 152 hospitals and 817 outpatient clinics, has long suffered from delays and a dysfunctional bureaucracy. In 2010, it introduced a new appointments system which promised a 14-day wait for an appointment with a primary care doctor or a specialist.
While there have been reports for several years that the new waiting line system was being abused, the subject really began to gather steam three weeks ago when CNN interviewed Sam Foote, who had recently retired as a doctor after working for 24 years for VA hospitals in Phoenix, Arizona.
He said that as many as 40 patients had died after being placed on a hidden waiting list that could last for up to a year, while officials at the hospital shredded documents and faked evidence to make it seem as if waiting times were under control.
Three officials in Phoenix have been put on leave, although Mr Griffin said there was no evidence yet that patients had died because of delayed appointments.
Since then, whistleblowers have alleged similar practices at least seven other VA hospitals around the country and claimed that officials at the hospitals were sometimes paid bonuses for reducing declared waiting times.
The political impact of the scandal has been somewhat muted so far, in part because of the respect still enjoyed by the veterans affairs secretary, retired four-star general Eric Shinseki who was himself wounded twice in Vietnam. Appearing before a Senate hearing on Thursday, Mr Shinseki received pointed questioning, but in a tone more respectful than almost any other cabinet member would have encountered. “I am mad as hell,” he told the committee.
However, if Congress concludes that efforts to manipulate waiting lists have become systemic – or if the allegations that patients died while waiting for phantom appointments are proved – Mr Shinseki will face huge pressure from both parties to resign.
Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic senator for Connecticut, said there was “solid evidence of wrongdoing within the VA system”, while his colleague from Washington Patty Murray told Mr Shinseki: “The standard practice at the VA seems to be to hide the truth.”
In a sign of how serious the White House believes the political fallout could become, the president’s deputy chief of staff Rob Nabors has been dispatched to the VA to help manage the fallout.
And when the fish stinks from the head up, is it at all shocking that VA heads, instead of placing their increased resources towards patient care, shell out multi-millions for fancy digs? Again, a display of utter contempt for the men and women who served the nation, not unlike the disdain exemplified by the so-called Commander-in-Chief and his out of control Pentagon!
Concomitantly, while the silencing of Christian and Jewish beliefs has become the “norm” at the Pentagon (sanctioned by Obama Inc.), lookee here, as we witness Muslim-American soldiers, butts in the air, praying at the same Pentagon!! If you dare, click pic on to see enlargement.

We combat Vietnam Veterans have been fighting the VA system for the past 40 some years, and knew we were getting screwed royal, but tried to make the best of it, playing their wicked games and jumping through hoops, all while getting abusive care at the VAMC’s. The Milwaukee VAMC really messed up my Right knee replacement surgery that left me a cripple, and they also have a serious racial problem with the 3rd shift, etc., abusing the White Veterans, and basically getting away with it, as they lie to cover each others’ asses !! I write a humble Blog that gets into that stuff: TOM’S JOURNAL. My email: tschuckman@aol.com — I am a Disabled combat Vietnam Veteran: 68-70. A helicopter door gunner on my 2nd tour of duty in RVN. Jesus is Lord.
I am so sorry, but we pray for our vets every night and thank them personally, when we see them in public. Thank you for serving our country!
Thanks Adina!
Worse than contempt though, deliberately seeking their death and destruction. Make no mistake.
Obama’s insidious hatred and mistrust for our military has been manifested in more ways than one can imagine. From his modified Rules of Engagement for our battlefield soldiers, to his demand that bolts be removed from the rifles carried by them in inauguration parades, to his Homeland Security designation that returning veterans are potential domestic terrorists. Now that the denial of medical treatment through secret waiting lists is being documented at various VA hospitals word has come out that some of that has even resulted in veterans committing suicide. As shocking as this may sound it is not new news. Back in 2009 the Wall Street Journal revealed that VA Secretary, General (ret.) Eric Shinseki was behind a program that endorsed euthanasia.
On September 6, 2009, I wrote on my blog: VA mandates “end of life” counseling, WSJ: Obama and Veterans Administration Secretary Shinseki now pressuring Veterans toward Euthanasia
http://oldironsides-thesilentmajority.blogspot.com/2009/09/veterans-administration-mandates-end-of.html
The Wall Street Journal just published a shocking editorial written by a respected University President, confirming the Obama Administration is now using VA hospitals to order doctors to pressure all military veterans to sign “pull the plug” do-not-resuscitate orders, hastening their premature deaths through mandatory “end of life” counseling.
President Jim Towey of Saint Vincent’s College, founder of the non-profit “Aging With Dignity” and former White House Director of faith based initiatives, wrote a blistering expose entitled “The Death Book For Veterans,” revealing President Obama’s new Veterans Administration (VA) directive, presumably signed by VA Secretary, General (ret.) Eric Shinseki, which mandates all veterans’ primary care physicians must graphically discuss “end of life planning” with all VA patients (not merely those nearing death), and must refer them to “Your Life, Your Choices,” a book that openly encourages Euthanasia and was written with guidance from the group formerly known as the Hemlock Society. That same pro-suicide group now boasts on their web-site of directly leading the charge to ensure “end of life counseling” is mandated in the Obamacare bill, HR 3200.
On page 21 of the Shinseki-mandated Veteran’s Euthanasia book, all military veterans are encouraged to complete a checklist of various scenarios, to decide whether their own life would be “not worth living.” For example, the booklet asks veterans 7 questions pressuring veterans to sign a “living will” that authorizes doctors to terminate your life, if you are:
Living in a nursing home?
Being in a wheelchair?
Not able to “shake the blues?”
Ever heard anyone say, “If I’m a vegetable, pull the plug?”
No longer able to contribute to your family’s well-being?
Are you a severe financial burden to your family?
Do you cause severe emotional burden for your family?
“This hurry-up-and-die message is clear and unconscionable,” says Towey, “Worse, a July 2009 VA directive [presumably signed by Shinseki] instructs its primary care physicians to raise advance care planning with all VA patients and to refer them to ‘Your Life, Your Choices.’ [the Euthanasia booklet.] Not just those of advanced age and debilitated condition-all patients. America’s 24 million veterans deserve better.” Towey recommends a “five wishes” living-will document that does not pressure suicide.
But instead the Hemlock Society booklet is now MANDATED for doctor referral to all patients in all VA hospitals, heaping more evidence upon the growing list of proofs that the Obama Administration is LYING TO THE PUBLIC by denying their health care plan pushes Euthanasia on the elderly. They already do it today. Just imagine if ALL hospitals become government-run like the VA.
