Letter to the Editor Reader feels veteran suicide will only get worse, making VA millions of $

I read in last week’s newspaper, Thursday, September 7, 2023, a 5K run to stop veteran suicide
This will never happen, it will only get worse.
If I heard on the radio correctly, we’re (veterans) only one percent or less of the population, yet about 9,000 commit suicide yearly, plus another 1,000 try and fail.
Why?  Because the V.A. was created by and for the president and congress for political purposes, not for the veterans.
A dead veteran is money in the bank for politicians and millions of dollars in the V.A. top brass’ pockets as a bonus to deny veterans.
Veterans, wait until you are pushed out of the V.A. system and hospital, and replaced by those crossing, because of open border illegals.
