Welcome to the US department of Veterans Affairs.

Remember all of those guys with Gulf war syndrome whose doctors told them they were faking it until they killed themselves? Ends up. They were exposed to nerve gas and doctors aren't trained in that. Oopsies!

The same is happening within the VA today. Too many of my friends have killed themselves.

I personally have had nothing but a great experience with my VA healthcare. It seems like it really depends on what region you are in.

The VA is criminally underfunded and as a result understaffed.
