Objectively poor public servants should be dismissed but we must also be careful not to make public service jobs so terrible that no one will step forward to be public servants. The VA has been under-staffed and poorly funded to most of its existance. Americans tend to be very excited to see our military blowing the hell out of anthills in places far from our nation but that patriotism seems to wane when it comes to caring for military personnel when their need is greatest. We've all forgotten how stupidly expensive it is to maintain our giant world policing killing machine.
