Default Nice way to treat our vets

Nothing about this surprises me. When my father-in-law, a disabled WWII vet, passed away while supposedly being cared for by the DVA in 2002, I brought a tort case against the DVA pro se. Got to the deposition phase when I realized I was outlawyered, so I wound up settling the case for a fraction of what I sued for.

Not at liberty to reveal the nature of the negligence, but believe me when I say that the VA caused my wife's father"s death.

Didn't realize this sort of neglect was so widespread..My VA in Richmond has 10 parking lots and they are always full..Stewart did a bit on this and went back to the Revolutionary war to show neglect.
