LOS ANGELES - Robert A. "Bob" McDonald, the 8th Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), announced soon after his Senate confirmation: "I want everybody to be a whistleblower. I don't think you need to fit the legal definition of a whistle blower but I want everybody every day to feel responsibility for improving the way we serve veterans. We should look at everything we do from the lens of the veteran. And if something is not going right, we should change it."
