I guess it is well intended and the thumping of the chest does provide a bit of bravado but I for one doubt the ability of one person to change the system. The system is too broken and the bandaids are giving way to infection.
Randy and Bob, You express what we all feel at times–without hope. But what if, someone worthy were to be elected into a leadership position such as President? Someone who would do more than issue “directives” and such. I think we need to try and identity who those persons–man or woman–might be. And then find ways of supporting them so they don’t give up.
We don’t need no stinking shot records! This guy sums alot up in just a few minutes. BUT I don’t think he knows what kind of giant he is insulting. The words “I think” doesn’t dwell well at the vA. Let’s see how many rounds this congressman can go with a corrupt and broken system before he gives up. Many have tried… Many have died waiting….
