Generous bonuses continued flowing to top officials at the Department of Veterans' Affairs health network last year, despite a string of patient deaths and reports of mismanagement, unsanitary conditions and unprofessional practices.
Documents obtained by the Washington Examiner show six top administrators of the Veterans Health Administration received performance bonuses in excess of $16,000 last year.
In all, the top VA executives and medical professionals received more than $3.3 million in bonuses that are supposed to reward exceptional work. The figure does not include rank-and-file employees or other financial incentives not tied to job performance.
A VA spokesman issued a statement to the Examiner late Monday saying the 2012 performance bonuses for some top agency executives “have been suspended pending further review and are not being paid at this time.” That includes some VHA officials.

I hope those fucks that whored themselves by accepting bonuses while our warriors are denied benefits and strung along with bullshit delays visit the karma due to them. What a bunch of self-serving selfish hack bastards do we have running the veterans admin. What a disgrace. Sad state of affairs.
