A Veterans Affairs employee who assaulted a Vietnam veteran at one of the VA’s outpatient facilities in Atlanta, Georgia, was fired, Breitbart News has learned.
[R]eports indicate that Mr. Gaillard is still employed by the VA. This, after his victim, veteran Phillip Webb, suffered several injuries and was hospitalized for three days with a ‘brain bleed’ as a result of the assault… . The VA must take immediate action to hold this employee accountable – the least of which is removing him as an employee of the VA. An incident such as this should never again happen, and the VA must take all necessary steps to ensure that it never does.
In their response to Roy, the VA revealed that they learned of the assault on the same day it occurred — April 28. The Atlanta VA Police arrested Gaillard the same day and transported him to the Atlanta City Detention Center. The VA revealed it did not issue an “administrative action” against Gaillard until June 22 — two days after the video of the assault aired on WSB-TV. The VA also revealed it proposed another administrative action on June 27 — the same day Roy sent the letter to the VA.
