The Veterans Administration Vows to Change | KTRH



 American veterans are treated by the government more as a disgrace than
as heroes. Despite the Department of Veterans Affairs being exposed for
mistreating the very ones willing to sacrifice it all, the agency
continues to sink deeper into controversy – even as administrators
promise reform. And what better way to encourage changes than with a
cute acronym? “The embattled Veterans Affairs Department … is reminding
employees in a memo why they should care about their work,” says The
Washington Times. “The document circulating among employees is titled
the ‘I CARE Quick Reference’ sheet, and it spells out the desired core
values of the VA: integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect and
excellence. The memo says the VA is ‘a model of unrivaled excellence due
to employees who are empowered, trusted by their leaders, and respected
for their competence and dedication.’” No, really, that’s what it
claims. According to one anonymous employee, “Management has made a
mockery of it.” Concerned Veterans for America CEO Pete Hegseth added,
“Adopting a catchy acronym and circulating a checklist is not enough.
It’s easy to put on an ‘I CARE’ pin, but it doesn’t matter unless you
actually demonstrate that care through your actions and the results you
deliver.” But government doesn’t judge itself by standards, and that’s
the problem. Thanks to ObamaCare, we’ll all experience just how much the
government doesn’t care
