waste of time
As feared, the segment was used as another heavily edited opportunity to bash the VA.
Instead of, for example, going into some serious detail about exactly what the circumstances were for a couple of GIs who've had troubles, they glossed over the problems again by featuring the complaint rather than the complexity of the claims.
Instead of devoting some time to revealing exactly how extensive the backlog and difficulties are at VA, they glanced over the millions and millions of dollars that have been put into helping and why that hasn't been enough yet.
They could, even, have dug up a specific VA individual who HAD ridden the brakes on claims, and take his hide off!
This serious matter was treated, once again, in a thumbnail sketch manner, and I was extremely disappointed that the lamestream media missed a golden opportunity to do some good, in favor of more breast beating scapegoating ass covering heart bleeding.
