<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why does this not surprise me?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I do not in any fashion condone the actions or behaviors of any and all those involved. With that said, I can understand the desperation of some veterans caught between a rock and a hard place who need much needed money because benefits are continuously being cut year after year.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is not the first. Google it, you should find several in other states and facilities within the past 5 years or so. Unfortunately, VA is not immune to everyday crimes happening on our streets.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br />Honestly I&#39;m not surprised. I remember a few years ago some VA employee was arrested for taking a veteran to a crack house to buy crack cocaine.
