MILITARY SWAMP
WHAT IS “THE SWAMP” AND WHY IS IT DANGEROUS?
The phrase “drain the swamp” alludes to the historical draining of swamps and wetlands to keep mosquito populations low in order to combat malaria. Now “drain the swamp” is being used as a metaphor by politicians referring to reducing the corrupt and out-of-control bureaucracy of the United States government.
Firing corrupt people in the government essentially takes away their money and power, which is analogous to the removal of water from a swamp diminishing the ability for mosquitoes to multiply and spread disease. Draining the proverbial swamp in Washington D.C. is nearly impossible to do when people are exempt from accountability and sheltered from losing their jobs.
Veterans Administration employees were part of that special protected class of people who could not lose their employment status, no matter what their job performance was. The net result was the wholesale murder of American veterans due to wanton and careless neglect.
