    No, I never worked for them. All you have to do is read the decisions by the MSPB and you will see the great disparity of treatment, when it comes to cases of vets versus non-vets. These cases are on the MSPB website. I have been in this government since I was a kid and I have never seen people treated in the government employment system like the vets are. I am in my 60's now and am a military retiree. I feel sorry for the guys and gals who leave Iraq and come home with disabilities, expecting help from their government counterparts called the MSPB, OPM and rest who protect the non-vet workforce. The whole system is a sham.

    Boy Charlie! You hit the nail on the head! You must've worked for the VA at one time too - before you wisened up!

    I bet the five employees of the VA mentioned in this article were not vets, or down the road they would have gone. This government does not care how vets' claims are handled. Just protect the incompetents who process them.
