2.4m seems low to me. It takes a huge amount of time to investigate fraud. I’m a “Law and Order” kind of guy.

Less than 2.3M, but who's counting?

Examine the numbers yourself: [https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/]

The VA is the largest at over 400,000 employees. But all the DoD components add up to more. I'm sure firing all the VA staff and all the soldiers/sailors/airmen will work out great.

Thank you, I’m lazily parroting numbers rather than nobly lauding accuracy.

I do know a thing or two about the VA. I hope we can rebalance what it means to be compensated for disability. Sen. Duckworth lost both legs and has a rating of 20%. I think about that whenever I heard a veteran describe the process of shopping for a high rating.
