I just can't understand how this happens. Maybe one or two, but not 4,200. Thank goodness there was a congressman who followed up the complaints.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A Florida congressman says the Veterans Administration cut off the benefits of more 4,200 people nationwide after they were wrongly declared dead.

I really believe the following:
The civilian pukes in the VA need to be replaced with Senior Enlisted and/or officers who are willing to square away the mess that veterans are facing trying to get medical help. Escalation of Force is warranted.
It gets me all hot and bothered just thinking about some upset Marine 1stSGT wearing Garrison attire with a smokey bear and clip board taping out Morse code on some fools forehead while explaining the fine points of Honor in a loud and clear voice about 4in away from the pukes face. It might get moist around said individual mug.
Then, a couple of SSGT's come in to support.

It seems unconscionable that this would happen in the first place, but knowing how the VA has been acting & reacting in recent months/years, I'm surprised the numbers weren't higher.

PO1 Michael Fullmer, I'll bet you a dime to a donut there are more than 4200. Considering the records from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East, there are bound to be more. They just need to keep on digging through their records and make this right.

PO2 (Join to see), This is crazy. Surely one out of 4200 went to the VA for something. If they were told they were dead, I don't think they would say, oh ok, never mind, and walk away.
