The news about the vetarans dying wating for health care in Phoenix seems to be just the tip of the iceberg in Obama’s VA scandal. Now, in Los Angeles, 28 veterans who were supposed to get a proper burial never did. Their dead bodies laid in a Los Angeles morgue for over a year. All compliments of Obama’s VA. Oh, and Eric Shinseki still has a job. While 28 dead veterans bodies have been confirmed as being left to rot in a morgue, as many as 60 dead veterans bodies may be involved according to CBS LA.

The bodies of 28 veterans at the L.A. County Morgue were finally moved Friday for burial to the Riverside National Cemetery.
CBS2/KCAL9 pressed the L.A. County Coroner’s Office Thursday to find out why the bodies had not yet received a proper burial after a source indicated there may have been as many as 60 veterans at the morgue for the past year and a half.
The morgue says the bodies were unclaimed and they don’t know how long the veterans were there.
The law states veterans are supposed to receive a proper burial.
The Veterans Administration says they were never notified the bodies were processed and ready to be buried.
More than two dozen bodies were transported to the Riverside National Cemetery Friday afternoon and more could be moved as they are identified.
On Friday evening, KCAL9′s Stacey Butler reported the LA County Morgue and the Veteran’s Administration were blaming each other for the mistake.
