I'm sure all the soccer fans have heard the news about the suspensions handed down to 4 of the top level leaders of FIFA. As I read this article, the thought went through my head of why haven't we seen actions like this taken within the VA? With the reports growing and more and more Veterans entering the system, would it take some sort of action like this to help turn the ship around for the VA?

FIFA is an international organization which is not really answerable to anybody or any nation because the number of people who are zealous about football (soccer in this country) outnumbers any nation including China SGT Ben Keen.
In our nation you need a majority of 450+ different legislators to focus on something like reigning in the Federal bureaucracy and developing rules for removing "senior civil servants" [oxymoron in many cases since they serve their own interests more than the people of the USA]. If those legislators develop legislation then you need a POTUS to concur and sign the bill and wait for it to take affect, pass Federal Court review, etc.
Impeachment is rarely used but it may make sense in some cases. Next best thing is relief for cause or whatever the civil agency term is for that military action.
