Breitbart<\/a> author, Thomas Rose tries to draw a comparison between the Veterans’ Affairs Department allowing deserving veterans to languish on long lists awaiting care while Bradley Breanna Chelsea Manning jumps to the front of the line for his sexual reassignment treatment. First of all, I don’t believe that even Chuck Hagel would have anything to do with the Manning issue. All I’ve seen on the subject is partisan blogs and news agencies looking for red meat, so I have my doubts. But, you know, if I was going to write about military issues, first I’d know the difference between the Department of Defense and the VA and the function each has in health care. <\/p>\nSince Manning still falls under the Department of Defense, he’s not jumping the line at the Veterans’ Affairs clusterf***, so it’s really an unfair comparison. the VA has nothing to do with Manning, since he doesn’t even qualify for any VA benefits to veterans. There is enough wrong at the VA that we don’t have to make shit up. Things like this give us less credibility in the whole discussion, so just stop trying to grab headlines with sensationalized bullshit.<\/p>\n
