Sarah Palin is using recent scandals to apparently push for the dismantling of the Veterans Administration.
The federal agency has been rocked in recent months by scandals including the deaths of at least 40 veterans awaiting care at facilities in Arizona that resulted in a shakeup of its top leadership.
New VA Secretary Robert McDonald was recently forced to apologize after misstating his military service record while speaking to a veteran during a photo opportunity, which Palin said called his character into question.
Palin cited these and other incidents in a Facebook video posted Tuesday evening as justification to clean house at the VA and fire bad employees like we do out in the private sector.

Come on Republicans - you sent these people to war now take care of them!!!
I know we democrats have no problem finding the money needed to take care of the veterans. We just need the votes from the GOP to make it happen!
