National Nightmare: Trump at War

[Lakhota]

When Donald Trump launched his bid for the White House, one of his earliest initiatives was a promise to help Americans who had gone to war for their country. Or, as his campaign put it, to take care of “all Veteran complaints very quickly and efficiently like a world-class business man can do, but a politician has no clue.” Last summer, about a month after declaring his candidacy, Trump unveiled a hotline for veterans to share ideas about how to overhaul the bureaucracy that served them. A campaign aide said that Trump himself would personally respond to some of the messages. “I love all veterans and will help them finally lead the kind of lives that they should be leading,” Trump declared at the time.

Many of the veterans who called the hotline—855-VETS-352—say they were sent to an automated voicemail message telling them to email the campaign. Those who reached a live human were similarly instructed to send an email, or to mail their medical records to campaign headquarters at Trump Tower. It soon became evident that Trump had no actual plan in place to help anyone who contacted him through the hotline. Calling it a “publicity stunt,” one veteran wrote on PopularMilitary.com, “We are not sure what the estimated wait time is, but it is probably safe to say you should hold on to your [Veterans Affairs] card for now.”

He's got China, Illegals, anti-American Communist Progressives and Mexico worried, so he must be doing something right

National nightmare? Only to weak minded fools.

The "crisis" at the VA is not O'Bama's fault, and will not easily be resolved. They simply do not have enough doctors on staff and under contract to timely meet all of the medical needs of the millions of Vets who rely on the VA. Hire more doctors? What Republican would suggest that? It would be political suicide.

There is nothing wrong with soliciting complaints and suggestions before a solid plan is developed. In fact, that is the logical way of proceeding. Until you know the nature of the problems - from the actual people who are having them - how can you develop a plan?

The thought of a Trump presidency should be making everyone wet their diapers.

What has president Hussein done for the Military or the Veterans? Under his lack of leadership the V.A. turned into a joke. The conflict in Afghanistan goes on and on and the greatest Military in the world is humiliated every day by the Russians. His only accomplishment (if you can call it that) is forcing the Military to accept overt homosexuals.
