I agree!  I can't even begin to express my anger and frustration with the entire mess.  All Carl wants is the ability to move on with our lives without this crap getting in the way.  His arm needs to be taken care of before it gets any worse and all we get is the run around.  It's BS!

Great Article Bel. .

The VA is worthless.

I briefly told you about my Dad's story regarding the VA. It is pathetic to say the least.

Forgive me that I don't have the concentration to follow your link, Bel,
I know from Gideon that the  VA is the last resort for medical care and that is a dmaned shame, it shouldn't be that way.

If they won't listen to you, what makes you think they'll listen to me? LOL

Would you tell the military that?  For some reason they just won't listen to me LOL!

They really need better ways of dealing with things.
Men sent into war are most likely going to come out of it traumatized.  How could you not be?  They should have regular follow ups until it is clear that all is well.  Just my opinion.

Exactly.  After a year all any of them wanted was to be home with their loved ones.  Most didn't even realize they had trouble sleeping, etc.. until later.  When you go to an 8 hour time difference in a week, you expect sleep to be messed up.

How very sad that it works that way.
I surely don't know anyone that would admit there is anything wrong if it meant they couldn't go home
