And how! That was one terrible program to put veterans through! What horrible federal psychologists thought of that one?

My tax dollars wouldn't pay for anything like that, I tell you. And that Our Program that replaced it isn't much better.

You know, they'd tell the veterans that they couldn't see their families any more. What was that all about? Try telling someone on active duty something like that. Going home to family and friends is a driving force in winning a war, in preserving the society that the family lives in. Why would a veteran wish to go to a program like that? How pathetic.

It had to have had foreign roots. We're better off without it. And, I bet the 101 people had something to do with the Executive Life Insurance Company seizure! They were that corrupt!

You sure those were federal shrinks who came up with that? I've seen terms from that program used on computer websites, like "facilitator." A common word (I guess; have you ever used it?), but used in the same context. That was pretty strange.

But the 101 Program was a strange program. I wouldn't want to see veterans forced to do the things they were made to do, that's not good. Veterans have a different mentality than a common citizen; psych tactics that might be useful on a citizen would be ineffective on a vet, and might have reverse effects (like your family reference). No idea what moron thought of that program, but I know Russell Knight committed suicide right around the time they discontinued it.

They remodeled the whole VA there. Got rid of a lot of the old trash. Let's hope our tax dollars aren't wasted on garbage like the 101 Program anymore.

You know, there were many homosexuals in The 101 Program. Now, I never had any prejudice against gays, they're always about. But now look how pushy they've gotten.

Don't let veterans see their families? What happens to their mental state? Seems to me some of them become crazed homosexuals that lash out on the community.

No, the 101 Program's gone. But now the crazy homosexuals have to be contained again before they make everything heterosexual illegal. That's what they do.

There was one VA worker, TT something or other. I'm pretty sure he worked for the 101 Program somehow. But if the 101 Program had something to do with the Executive Life seizure, no wonder it split up that fast.

Robin Gilbert, that's the name I was trying to think of. Gilbert had the 101 Program, don't know if he started it. What a moron.

Don't know if I want to pay any VA loan off anymore. Know what they do?
