Screaming In An Empty Room

Does it feel as if you are screaming in an empty room when the news does not cover important reports or twist facts into spin? So do I. I'm not anti-military but I am against all that is being done to the men and women who joined the military to defend this nation. For PTSD post, go to http://woundedtimes.blogspot.com.

VA AND DoD USING CARTOON VIDEOS

VA AND DoD USING CARTOON VIDEOS AS TEACHING TOOLS FOR EMPLOYEES (12-30-06)The "Epic of Gilgamesh" cartoons used to teach Clinical Practice Guidelines for Post-Deployment Health Evaluation and Management.

Larry Scott of VAWatchdog.org just did it again. He never fails to shock me. This is just one more of the incredible reports he finds. The VA are up to their old ticks of offering cartoons instead of help. I really wonder how much they paid to have this three part cartoon made.

One of the biggest things I noticed was when the "Doctor" suggested what to do while he was still trying to find a reason was for the "veteran" to get exercise and change their lifestyle. What is done to the veteran in the process is without a diagnosis by the VA along with a disability rating, the veteran is "non-service connected" for the disability and as such they are not treated for free for the wound they received from combat. Congress passed the rule change which allows the VA to bill for treatment for any veteran without their rating and a recognized service connected disability. In other words, until the VA puts a label on a veteran, it doesn't matter to them where the wound came from. They could be sitting in a wheel chair without the legs that got blown off in Iraq and all the VA will see is the service connected disability rating in the system. No rating, they pay. Nice isn't it? Then when you take a veteran discharged a year or so before showing up complaining of the symptoms of PTSD and they will make them pay for the treatment unless the VA finally gives the determination of a service connected condition.

Go watch the videos and then email your congressmen the link. Let them see what the VA is doing with the money they don't have to spend on our veterans. After all it is a new congress coming in now. The one who funded this kind of crap were voted out!
