BREAKING: VA Letting Suicidal Veterans Down In A Massive Way… This Is An OUTRAGE

 USA Today) Suicide hotline workers are letting veterans down in the worst way.

Now, an “under-performing workforce” is always an issue. But it’s especially problematic when the workers are helping veterans in crisis. More than a third of veterans calling the Department of Veterans Affairs’ suicide hotline aren’t getting through.

Why? Some workers handle only a handful of calls per day and leave early, according to emails obtained by USA TODAY. Why does it matter? A 2010 calculation by the VA estimates that 22 veterans kill themselves each day. (The VA, which has not updated that estimate, says the hotline “rescues” 30 veterans from suicide each day.)

Then again: Just four veterans were responsible for 5,619 calls in May, tying up phone lines with abusive and even vulgar comments.

The VA has been corrupted and needs a fresh start. We can only expect worse under a Hillary presidency — after all, she told soldiers in Benghazi to “stand down,” resulting in the loss of four brave Americans.

It’s time to put Veterans first in the VA.
