Sarah Palin Pisses Off Veterans By Trying to Abolish Veteran Affairs Department

The republican party needs to tell Palin to STFU. She's has now pissed off veterans. WTF is she thinking?!?!?!?
Palin cited these and other incidents in a Facebook video posted Tuesday evening
“It’s time to abolish the VA so vets don’t have to depend on it for their basic needs,” Palin said.
She made a similar call last month during her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where she departed from her standard attacks on the Obama administration to make several specific policy recommendations.
Palin, the former half-term governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate, urged Congress to provide vouchers to veterans so they can seek care outside the VA system.

Pure bullshit on your part. The only place this shows on Google is on
the Fairfax Underground.
“It’s time to abolish the VA so vets don’t have to depend on it for their basic needs,” Palin said.

You're crazy if you think VA benefits should be handled by private companies.
The US taxpayer would get ripped off bigger than private defense contractors selling with $200 hammers.
Private companies performing government functions are ALWAYS a cluster fuck.

This idea if very popular with a lot of veterans, especially those who live
in rural areas where VA facilities are long distances away. Another supportive
group of vets are those who must go to facilities with bad reputations for
providing care in the first place. My dad was under VA care for the last
25 years of his life and the quality of service was at times pathetic. The
administrative staff especially could care less if the sun comes up in the
mornings as long as they get their government pay and benefits.

Call it as I see it. You have two types in the military. The 90% that barely graduated high school and the 10% who had a Dad in the military and get a free ride.

And would like the military to be run by private contractors too?
