For those not staying up on current events, the American Legion has called for Sec Shinseki to resign from his position as the head of the VA.
The VA released a statement rejecting the AL's call for his job and the President released his own statement saying he still backs Shinseki.
All this started over the 40 Veterans that died in Arizona. These deaths may be releated to the delays in care and a "secret list" of Veterans to wait for treatment.
With all the negative news flying around, is it time for a change at the top or are all these matters something that that the regional directors need to take responsibility over?

WO1 Brew,
Resignation for the beret? You don't understand the history/intent behind the beret decision.

Catastrophic decision making?
I'd be interested in hearing how the beret was 'catastrophic'.

I have seen this in the news (both the call for resignation and the initial incident regarding the deaths). I feel 100% that there are personnel within the region and at the specific location in Phoenix that should be vacating their positions. But, I am unsure of the awareness level at the "top". Regardless, this is stupid. Who can be trusted? There are LIVES that were lost, families now suffering, and imagine the concern of other veteran's who use that facility. I can only hope that issues such as this one will not become 'the norm' in the United States of America. We have to do better.

That would be akin to general odierno personally roving through brigade offices hacking commanders.
However, his guidance to accomplish this is what matters. If he is taking steps to remedy this quickly, then he should be allowed to continue. Of course, at this point, there should be a timeframe given and benchmarks that must be met, set by the president.
