No excuse for VA incident

Fri., April 21, 2017

The guard at Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center who assaulted a veteran and a small dog was apparently never taught to use his words instead of his hands to solve problems. The situation should have been de0escalated with words. This veteran served our country, put himself in harm’s way, for all of us. A kerfuffle about a tiny dog should never have led to assault against him.

My spouse is a veteran, and if he were ever treated in this way, I would be calling an attorney now. This guard should be fired. What the devil is even going on at our VA Medical Center? Does the center director ever come out of his office to see?
