Military veterans expressed outrage at Rubens’ actions and at the VA’s refusal to fire her, to recoup the embezzled public funds, or to take meaningful actions to reprimand its employees that had broken the law. The [[American Legion]] expressed a similar dissatisfaction with the VA’s lack of discipline and, noting their retention of ample salaries, called the scandal an “insult and a disgrace to all veterans”. |

In addition, [[Pete Hegseth]] of Concerned Veterans for America accused Secretary of the VA [[Robert A. McDonald]] of ineffective leadership and of perpetuating a culture of dishonesty within the VA. Democrat [[Richard Blumenthal]] called the VA's reinstating of Rubens and Graves "an appallingly insufficient punishment". More broad criticisms have arisen about the accountability of federal employees, who are alleged to be very difficult to fire even after being proven to have committed corruption. |
