Seems reasonable to me. What do you think?

True it is satire, and funny at that.
I think the overarching point of many of their articles is to bring light to the ridiculousness of some of the decisions that are made though.
Yes, this didn't happen, but there are VA rulings that make you say "Really?". And I think that is the main point.

Sir, when you put it like that, then yes. That's what duffleblog is really good about and why it's so funny because sometimes there is a ring of truth to it.
