Every VA medical center has severe staffing shortages, audit finds
All of the Veterans Health Administrationβs 139 facilities reported lacking workers, and reports of severe shortages increased 50 percent from the previous fiscal year.

Rather than slashing staff at the VA, the administration should be investing in additional care for those who served.

Local police donβt hide their faces. State troopers donβt. Sheriffs donβt. Even the FBI, unless it's a special tactical operation, and even then... they wear uniforms and ID. Why should ICE be the exception?

Consider this βdefenceβ; if a murderer is in a school, it is justified to blow up that school and kill the children not to neutralise any threat or to achieve any military objective but purely to punish the murderer.
