        What a concept, getting fired and not getting your job back! Radical new thinking, very impressive.

        Just like the rest of us. Do your job or find another one. The VA's troubles are real & serious & well documented. This is the Deep State.

        I can give them a list of candidates to be permanently fired, including the ones that operated on me needlessly & made condition 100x worse.

        Doesn't the VA also need to train and enhance the skills of current employees all while looking for more?

        As a vet I'm horrified by the thought of the people taking care of me losing job security. Being scared to say the wrong thing.
