I was a hospice for a relative for 4 years and visited the VA almost daily. While there are some low level dregs that usurp off the government to a degree as vets increase in rank so does the integrity; exponentially. The concern for the citizens, service members, and for the country is part of the acquired honor. This is different than say law enforcement, government, or the private sector; where as they go higher in rank the biases to defend the institution and careers are politicized. Have faith, these are some of the best people in the world.
