Racers for Trump?????

The VA, IMO, is a huge improvement since around 2015. Remember the huge problems that were with every VA hospital, especially here in Phoenix???? I went to the VA to see a urologist. Appointment times were around 6 weeks. The Urologist was a nice enough guy, but.....get this, he graduated UCLA Med School in 1959. True story. I got approval for cancer treatment from my civilian oncologist. Anyway, a 100% improvement at the VA clinics and hospitals now. Appointment times greatly improved, follow up, emails, they now treat us like humans and not like a number. Check in for an appointment, you now get a smile and a "how ya doing". So much better since President Trump "rattled their cages". I am really grateful for the improvements.

Those that criticize what our President has done to improve Veterans care.........have no idea what they are talking about. I feel much more appreciated now, with our President. Just one more comment. I never get tired of hearing "thank you for your service"....however, the comment that always puts a lump in my throat is "welcome home"...I visualize mail call, mail bag drop, friends that didn't make it....so to my brothers in arms...."welcome home".
Appropriately, say "are you a veteran?" Welcome home...

I have a hard time attempting to defend the other Veterans and me from the likes of Stan Weiss and samuel. I shouldn't have to defend my "drafted" service, or any other person's service of our country, most of us didn't want to go to Viet Nam. Many of Those that came back alive were missing body parts.....I'm missing my spleen....Stan an Sam, have you had artillery, mortars and small arms fire at you everyday....?? where do you want to meet some pissed off veterans. My Marine friends take care of us disabled..so...try us......

Somehow people like you believe that Vietnam was make believe. You believe that if you imagine it, it will go away.

You seem to read way more into my question than was ask. No I did not go to Vietnam, but I was in the Army from 1965 to 1968.
