The current head of the VA, Robert James "Jim" Nicholson, has no experience in VA healthcare (or any type healthcare) or VA disability benefits (or any type of disability benefits).

He was recently called the #4 highest political crony in the current administration because he was once the head of the Republican Party and lacks any background dealing with veteran-related issues.
