I just wanna say since the VA is still cranking some of us have been in the game a long time. My great great grandfather immigrated from Germany then joined the Union. From the Civil War till now the men in my family have fought in every conflict from that point on. What level of service does it take to be crowned worthy of benefits?

Hey Politico, there’s a word for “top vote-getter.”

It’s winner 😂

@RepMikeLevin LMAO! You don't think people actually realize you are lying your ass off

[Habitual Linecrosser @HLC_actual]

Ok vets we all know Uncle Sam fucks our bodies and minds up. But this level of egregious welfare baby bullshit has gotta stop. This is a rare occurrence as most of us getting out are genuinely fucked up and just tell the truth to the doctors and accept what we get.

When we see guys that were shot getting less “benefits” than dudes like this who literally never did anything something is wrong. This is a rare occurance but should be called out when it happens. Hold each other accountable.

@MyBearNinja Breathing recycled farts for months at a time can have that effect.

[H0tP0ck3t @brownteaming]

This whole VA disability argument is compounded by the fact that the 1% of the population that serves is less and less varied and is more multigenerational service families that carry the load of service. So even less of the population knows someone who has served in the military.

That would be ~6 months of Tomahawk production and ~9 months of JASSM production, respectively.

Historical procurement quantities are being conflated with installed facilitization.

It’s a wild when I hear a story like this guys or similar ones and they all have a higher disability rating then a lot of the guys I deployed with or even myself. Mind you I have done the VA game multiple times.

So let’s look at his service. Which I am thankful he served and he should be proud of the fact he signed the dotted line
He did 2 years in the navy, did schooling, never deployed, and getting disability for anxiety and depression. Around 70-80% is his rating based off the pay he said. I will also add I have heard other similar stories that get a rating like this or higher. Either they have never deployed, Did half a service term, or No crazy stories or injuries. Yet still a high rating.
For comparison here is my own personal experience and what the guys i deployed with dealt with during the 15-16 month deployment “this is just battalion level, not brigade level. 3-6 Battalions equal a brigade” also attached the list of medals from 2-23 battalion during the surge.

Myself. 4 years with a 16 month deployment to Iraq. Shot once “this is how I got my Purple Heart”, Blown up 3 times, 1 suicide bomber, and God knows how many fire fights… at minimum 30. this is pretty common experience for all the 2-23 guys. So not sure how people get those super high ratings when I know the guys or I had trouble with ours.

I don’t know the solution but I do think there should be more accountability for how it’s handed out if the tax payers are fronting the bill but with out making it harder for the individuals that truly need it.

Rest in peace to the 16 brothers we lost

@brownteaming Right!?!?

[H0tP0ck3t @brownteaming]

My grandfather fought on Iwo Jima, he had a 0% disability rating. Why, because he was never really told he could get it nor was it explained why he would qualify.
