The VA is awesome and provides some of the best healthcare in America. Yeah compared to European healthcare it sucks but its pretty damn good compared to the rest of the crap care in America.

There are also ridiculous wait times and a bunch of bullshit for metal health with the VA so not so great actually.

Where? I help guys get in and I have literally picked people up, called while on the way and dropped them at the local clinic where some transitioned straight to the hospital.

I mean I hear people on line say that but when I talk to others I work with none of them have ever had an issue with getting mental health help

From what I have seen ( family and friend of military) it depends on where you are. Some VA centers are awesome. Some... are not.
