CAS, it makes you wonder. Years back, a certain president raised the posibility that since our military is voluntary, that the members should have to pay for their own medical insurance, and bills if injured. I won't name the president, but it wasn't decades or centuries ago. So when the whole VA flap came up recently, and a certain president told everyone how mad that he was, should any of this be true, my first thought was...how mad could he possibly be, given a proposal some time back to have our soldiers pay for their own health care, since "...the military is volunteer", using his words. Now, if you go to Snopes, those people that are supposed to know everything about anything, what is fake, and what is true, and ask if a certain president proposed that, they will say that its bogus, never happened. However, CNN has a video that someone played recently that has VA boss, Gen. Shinseki admitting at the time, that a certain presidential administration was in fact considering exactly that. So, you have to ask yourself who is correct. Snopes for calling the story bogus? Or General Shinseki, VA Secretary in an administration, a very official guy with only one person above him, saying on video at the time that they are (then) considering exactly that? And then you also have to ask yourself, if a president is or was considering doing that, just how mad could he really be about what is happening at the VA. You also have to ask yourself why it is that at daily white house press briefings, lots of those types of questions are asked, and seldom presented during the nightly news, and if they are, about mid news, given 20 seconds time. A reporter, Lara Logan, just left CBS news a few months ago over exactly that...daily stories and questions, buried daily, she claimed and still claims very publicly. One could get the impression that the news folks are vested very heavily, no matter the cost, in the succession of...something or someone in particular.
