J.T. McKenna penned an article in Rotor Media about the current topic. I believe he managed to get through the entire article without using the word "secret," so perhaps intrepid conspiracy theorist JBird can do so, too.
In 2021, he posted here that his friends were getting "0% placeholders for PTSD," and that he might also, as he retired from the Army. Did he fail to disclose, and is that the reason for his conspiracy rants?
The investigation drawing in Veteran benefits is the tip of the proverbial ice berg. The McKenna article refers to the San Fransisco Social Security Benefits investigation from several years ago, very well known at the time, involving some 40,000 pilots. That was a 18-month investigation. Not a secret, either. The article notes that the VA investigation has been going on for several years, and hasn't been very secret, given that enforcement action has been coming out of the process for some time now .
Not new, not news, not unusual, not secret. The only secrets here are those that the applicants are keeping from the FAA, in violation of federal regulation AND law, when they fail to disclose, on the airman medical application.
