VA outreach Lags Resonse
VA outreach lags: Response
Censoring US Military Veteran’s letters of wrongs for the safety of the public is one major cause of ignorance at the VA. Veterans are unaware of benefits to protect themselves against retribution from the VA. It is a safety issue. Doctor’s work to disprove a disability exists or is service connected become quite apparent from the first visit to the VA. The VA uses drugs to attempt to treat what is wrong and will tell you if this does not help we can try something else until we find the right drug. Guinea pigs are what we came back to attempt life back here. The VA uses a weapon called the Red Flag to humiliate and shame US Military Veterans using the very war torn disabilities the VA is suppose to be treating as the cause to yell safety issues to prevent treatment. Use the word suicide and your freedom is taken until you can prove to the doctors in the nut ward it was a slip of the tongue. I know because they once took me out of UNH and put me in the nut ward at Jamaica Plains VAH in Boston. I have tried in the past when the VA had a Psycho Doctor see me but the Dr’s would pick at what I was saying to question the truth so much it was easier to not talk. The VA will get this letter and ignore it because the public will be denied the words of a US Military Veteran considered a danger to the community.
I remember coming back and claiming medical problems would have delayed my getting out of the MC. You are still in uniform and to question the actions of officers’ that might imply medical malpractice just does not happen. We get home and try to claim our medical problems and we are no longer service connected but now VA coverage. The VA is on a tight budget and public appearance is the most desired before coverage so medicate and keep the patient quiet first and foremost. A vet slipping through the cracks is preferred if no public awareness can tie it back to that VA facility. I am a 100% disabled US Marine from the Vietnam Conflict that the VA has stopped my medical care for combat related disabilities until I stop writing opinion letters just like this one. The newspapers will refuse to print it for safety issues as an ironic plug to why we went to Vietnam.
The VA is spending over 7 million to build a homeless shelter for US Military Veterans. The rules and curfews imposed keep the homeless veteran on the street. To be placed in a VA shelter is worse than military life or under enemy control. I write this letter as I read in the paper today “One major change will come Wednesday when a new law will mandate all departing service members go through a series of detailed benefits sessions”. We are not cattle. We are the men and women that went off to fight for our freedom and a nation we love. A veteran resort chapel where homeless and disabled US Military Veterans can live with out rules and regulation using what crippled them from war to limit or harm what life is left in them.
I would ask everyone reading this letter to ask why? Why you, your self can sit there and not help these men and women by asking your newspapers why they censor opinion letters of US Military Veterans trying to explain. Preventing homeless US Military Veterans has to start with realizing why first. Government officials should be asking their newspapers to print this letter. Help a Veteran helping Veterans and tell the USA about the Veteran Resort-Chapel.
