Doug Collins, new Secretary of Veterans Affairs, appointed by President Trump is now receiving negative comments by many veterans, reacting to his video this week. Collins alleged the media are not telling the truth about the VA and Veteran's benefits.
In hundreds of comment on the VA page featuring Collins' one and one-half minute video, commenters were making complaints of the VA's backlog in handling cases.
We noted the weekly VA News email to Veterans from the VA was marked at the top in red warnings:
This message seems dangerous
Many people marked similar messages as phishing scams, so this might contain unsafe content. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information.
Our guess is that the folks now doing the IT work on the VA News messed up badly in coding the letter, and people did mark it as phishing, as the links did not work on the page.

I’m sure firing all the 1000 employees is really going to help me as a veteran.
ReplyDeleteAre y'all stupid for real? I'm a veteran also and I strongly stand for Trump and the whole lot that are clearing house. Yes firing the dead weight from the govt is going to help everyone in the long run because a the deadweight draining the govt for a paycheck yet not working is gone and b no fishing money out to undercover democrat pockets.
DeleteIt's the way It's being done that's wrong. Nobody should be fired with no notice by an email. The director (s) should be given #s of cuts to be made and power to decide which ones. Still waiting to see actual evidence of waste, fraud and abuse. Inspector generals should not have been fired. They should be involved, as should the Congress. That's THEIR job and what we pay them for, but the REPUBS are too afraid of Trump to step up.
DeleteVeterans all need to stick together. This scumbag is destroying america.
ReplyDeleteI agree

DeleteY'all are dumb destroying America how? By trimming the scum off of the govt payroll. Get it together
DeleteFacts 30 yrs I served joining up at 16 yrs old my mom said your my first born daughter go to college first. I did earn 4 degrees, but I joined the Army so I could go she could not afford it. I pray that all Mt Veterans be ok. Renea in Florida!
DeleteFuck all Trump supporting veterans. You're no brother to me you fucking traitors.
DeleteI recently received my 100% rating. It took me less than 2yrs to do this. If you are prepared and have your story backed up with hard facts then it goes quick. If it's taking a long time to get a rating then you haven't done your homework
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Thanks for the encouragement.
DeleteAgreed. You can have alot of documentation and still be denied. People suffering while trying to seek help is difficult. Your ignorance is loud!!!
DeleteObama destroyed the VA. Vets dying under his watch because VA had two list and Vets couldnt get care. It took 29 months for my initial claim to get processed in 2011. I submitted a supplemental in 2019 and it took only 2 months. Leadership..
ReplyDelete🤣, Seriously guy, OBAMA!?!? 😂😂😂! Dude you're a degenerate E4 LOSER who got kicked out dishonorably. Pres Obama doesn't have anything to do with your lame ass not getting benefits! 😂
DeleteYou are not telling the truth about Obama it's always someone else he did not destroy anything your dumb ass is destroying the VA by always complaining about something that doesn't make sense you will realize that after it has been privatize however when you file a claim you fall in line just like everyone else you can't jump line because you feel you should be put ahead of everyone what idiot
DeleteTo be honest i could give a fuck
Deletewhat trump does as long as he doesnt touch are benefits or the 4044.00 i recive every month and it has nothing to do with president Obama
That's a sad state of mind. If he does it to others it's only a matter of time before he does it to us. He has zero respect for our sacrifice.

DeleteWhen I called the VA several times in 2023 and 2024 the office staff was still working from home, omg! Put them back to work.. No more working with your PJs on or from your Condo in Hawaii. Millions in the Govt spent on Fraud, waste and abuse! Time to stop it. Put that $$ towards care for all us Vets..
ReplyDeleteYour claim takes as long as it takes whether someone works on it from home or in office. It actually has sped up the process the facilities have space limitations and operating hours someone working from does not have that limitations but do have timelines. I am curious how you think someone working from home causes it to slow down?
ReplyDeleteWell let's see if we lose our Healthcare & Disability pay. Time tells all. Go Navy
ReplyDeleteTRUMP is the Best Ever his first Term I got my 50% Service Connection in 8weeks in NC in NY I never knew this EXISTED I TRUST TRUMP WITH MY LIFE love Doug Collins
ReplyDeletePut down the orange kool-aid.
DeleteWake up trump had nothing to do with it
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/share/v/15yKxRfLSg/ it's coming if we don't stop it.
ReplyDeleteit' a wait and see problem i don't trust any of them
ReplyDeleteOur local VA clinic has spots for 8 providers. I think there are two NP's currently. Very hard to get an appointment, they are swamped. Surely do need help here! Having to rely on Medicare,
ReplyDeletePrivatization of VA is the end goal. It will operate like a private insurance company. People who support this have no respect or honor for the Veterans who deserve the very best care. VA employees make a lot less compared to the public sector. We need to expand service not fire employees. 51% of workforce are Veterans!! Veterans helping Veterans is not a government waste!! Stay away from our healthcare unless you bring positive improvements!! Always room to grow
ReplyDeleteI love my fellow veterans but some of you guys i wonder what army you were in. What happen to Army values ,Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage. We were taught to fight for our country a lot of guys made the ultimate sacrifice hear we have some one who wants to give back all these guys lost their lives for and many of you fought for. one guy said we need to stick together yes. Most of all guys we need to Pray for our leader for him to make wise decision. I know I have a hard time praying for him but that what God said we have to do.
ReplyDeleteLol
