Politicians and bureaucrats of all persuasions typically trip over themselves when it comes to praising the values and virtues, the courage and the sacrifice, of America's military families. East Coast. West Coast. Red state. Blue state. Democrats. Republicans. It doesn't matter. Everyone wants to stand up in public and say that brave and stoic military families should get the best that America can offer (cue the applause). Take the first lady herself, Michelle Obama, who has worked consistently with and for these families since 2009.

disgraceful

I lived most of my adult life near a military & a VA hosp. so am no stranger to the less than polished reps that they have

they should be held to the same standards & penalties civilian docs and docs of civilians are

shame shame

I'm a Vet and not knowing much about prednisone, trusted a Civilian Dr., contracted by the VA with my pulmonary problems. He put me on Prednisone and kept me on it for four years.

It was only after I moved and got another VA contracted civilian, I was told the longest I should have been on the steroid was 6 months. She immediately took me off and got me on a spray that has me doing well.

Sadly, they canceled her contract and moved our (local) office some 60 miles away.
