The VA is getting a bad rap. The only thing we hear about the VA is what the media want's us to hear. More airtime and more print =$$$ for the media. No medical facility VA or private is perfect just like the auto makers. The fact is that VA medical care is ranked among the best in this country. Why would anyone want to work for the VA? Well how about a 40 hour week. No overhead, no malpractice insurance, no partnership problems no insurance companies to deal with and the list goes on. In my experience the staff at the VA are there because they want to be there and they truly care about the veteran. Unlike the Doc that just wants to send their kid to college and make the BMW payment. The leadership at a VA facility is the answer to the problem. The top dog must run the facility like a well oiled machine and at the same time be able to tell the politicians to buzz off. I'm sure the leadership gets shaky around election time. I can only speak from my own experience and will not condemn any facility just because the media wants me too. I am a vet and an agent orange victim. I can say that the VA takes very good care of me and in return I write stuff like this. A very small price. So, what will it take to make the VA better? The only thing would be to vote out the bad eggs and muffle the media. Unfortunately I don't think that will happen in my lifetime. To the naysayers don't whine every time your medical insurance goes up because you really want that kid to go to college.

I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
