by user Supremeirony No wonder Veterans Affairs is so incompetent at doing the one thing they are supposed to be doing. The VA Secretary is a total moron : [ABC's Bob] WOODRUFF: You think americans fully understand how many injured there are in this war? [VA Secretary Jim] NICHOLSON: I think it — i think it cuts both ways. I think Americans are always very surprised to know the number of amputations, for example, which is fewer than 600 in total. They’re probably also surprised to know that 200,000 come to the VA for some kind of medical treatment. That’s probably more than they think. WOODRUFF: You have mental disorders — 73,000; diseases of nervous system — 61,000; symtpoms, signs of ill-defined conditions — 7,000; diseases of musculoskeletal system — 87,000. These are numbers beyo
