They are all about themselves, greedy and probably have never served, as most of our politicians.

There is a growing sense within those high up in the government, that they are above the law. They see the number of failures and illegal actions that go unpunished, and they become confident they won't be held accountable. And under the current administration, at least, they are correct.

Col Lenertz you are right. But I believe most of all it's the unions you can't fire anyone without an act of congress. I believe that if we would treat all administrators like soldiers and rotate them every three years. This would stop all this clicks we have at hospitals.

Sgt Spencer Sikder VA seems to keep pushing up bureaucrats who gave questionable prior testimony. Difficult to see how the VA problems will be solved.

I have the exact reasons. As grade school kids they never learned about telling the truth, never stealing for their own good, or stealing from the public is wrong.
