The left used to like whistle-blowers, do they no longer like whistle-blowers in government now?

"VA whistle-blowers getting punished by VA upper management. Does this bother the left?"

It bothers me. It's not a political issue as far as I'm concerned, The VA wasn't doing its job and denying people who fought for this country medical care is unacceptable. .

Yes that bothers me. I wish congress would fund the VA properly.

Actually I think getting our vets the services they deserve is something that both sides agree on.

I think everyone should be bothered by retribution against whistle-blowers. I understand laws preventing the release of sensitive security information, but the VA whistle blowers should have protections.

It is not a left or right paradigm that causes these problems, but an intent to not fully recognize legal standards. They are not incompetent but instead choose to favor one aspect of legality over another. They're biased.

Should not be a surprise, some of these behaviors are formalized in the new education system. Those who are taught this type of behavior through formal education standards cannot legally be held accountable for carrying the behavior into the professional sector.
