Scumbag Alert: Pentagon Still Promoting Rape and Sexual Assault

From Denny:  While the entire country and the President are appalled at the Pentagon's missteps to correct their vile attitude toward female service members, thousands of women are not getting justice.  Their rapists continue to be promoted to higher positions in the military, never punished or dishonorably discharged.  To add insult to injury the raped service members must salute that superior officer while she finishes her time in the military.  

The Pentagon starts up sensitivity training programs, claiming they have vetted the men placed in charge of them.  Yeah?  Just recently one man was found to have sexually assaulted a woman in a public parking lot. Obviously, he is mocking the very issue of rape and sexual assault publicly.  He was also in charge of one of those classes and possesses a high rank he certainly does not deserve.

The Pentagon claims that men should be in charge of these programs because the troops will not take women seriously as the leaders of these programs.  Really?  What the Pentagon is really saying is that they don't take any military women seriously.  Why are they even bothering with sensitivity training in the first place?  Does Sec. Hagel really believe that re-vetting those in charge of these programs is really going to change the outcome?

Benghazi Scandal: CIA Petraeus Screw-Up, Hillary Wins By Landslide in 2016

From Denny:  The Republican political machine has been frantically busy of late.  The 2016 mud-slinging is in full swing in mid-2013.  Guess these guys just couldn't wait.

They also saw an opening when Team Obama got lazy again after winning their second term.  It just goes to show if you want to stay on top of the mountain then you had better look busy, pushing hard ahead,  chasing after millions of jobs for underemployed and jobless Americans if you don't want to get knocked off the top of that presidential mountain.  That might also explain why President Obama has dropped down to the 65th position in the Most Trusted List this year.

Veterans Affairs Claims Logjam: Should Prez Obama Declare National Emergency?

From Denny:  There's a wonderful reason my husband is nicknamed "Satan" at our house.  Most times it's because he specializes in being the most annoying irritating person on the planet because it's his idea of fun when he gets bored - while he is the only person laughing. There are those times when Home "Satan" comes up with a wickedly good idea. "Satan" proposed it is past due time for President Obama to issue an executive order to declare a temporary suspension of all federal workers' rights and pay who work in the Veterans Affairs Administration until the claims logjam is accomplished.

Shocking, isn't it?  What's more shocking is how many veterans are committing suicide as a result of the VA falling down on the job.  Let the unions and the courts sort it out later.  As President, Mr. Obama should bring this call to action to pierce the logjam with a motivation for workers to keep their jobs.

That's right; until the almost one million claims logjam is truly quickly processed then it's time for the workers to feel the same pain.  Because of their ineptitude, laziness, poor leadership at the top and/or middle management, lack of proper resources and/or all of the preceding reasons and excuses the end result is that thousands of veterans are committing suicide each year because they cannot get the help America promised them.

This health care hell travesty is killing military morale.  Friends and family of veterans are angry.  Fellow soldiers are angry and resentful their friends are receiving this disrespectful treatment in their hour of need.  This cannot continue with the Pentagon sitting on their hands yet again.

Jon Stewart Hammers Vet Affairs Failing to Break 1 Million Claims Logjam

3 video clips from The Daily Show

From Denny:  While other equally pressing news stories push to the front of the public's attention - like Israel attacking idiot terrorist-supporting Syria and the tragic Boston marathon bombing by less experienced terrorists - the very soldiers who fought America's terrorism wars are told to wait for help by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs.

Granted the VA does process around one million claims a year, all this while in the midst of trying to change over from an outdated dinosaur 1970's paper culture and advance into the digital age.  Currently, they are looking at another two years before believing they will have arrived in said digital age.  Let's get real; multiple that by ten and the estimate might be near accurate.

Boston Marathon Bombing: What Latest BS Stories From Growing Number of Suspects?

From Denny:  Slow dogged investigation from the FBI, the CIA and the rest of the intelligence community (IC), Homeland Security, the Boston police, along with international groups like America's sudden new BFF:  Russia, have yielded a fuller picture of how these two brothers became radicalized and found it so easy to carry out their vile bombing plan.

A twice wounded Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured after a day long manhunt in the city of Boston.  Unable to speak because of a serious gunshot neck wound, he wrote his answers to questions from investigators.  These answers came before getting advised of his rights since there was the exception for public safety.  Tsarnaev tried to convince investigators this bombing was only created by he and his brother - and that no one else was involved or had any knowledge of their plan.  Of course, no self-respecting police officer or investigator would believe such a statement and continued investigating.
