Messed up his eyes (all the dust and muzzle flashes and artillery blasts and fires from exploding vehicles).<\/p>\n

Messed up his ears (all the noise from rifles, diesel engines and generators).<\/p>\n

Messed up his back (all the backpack and body armor weight he carried on patrol).<\/p>\n

Gave him a rash on his arms and back. Gave him tonsillitis. Gave him post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

Gave him a traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety.<\/p>\n

And next month it could give him up to 10 years behind bars — for faking his service-related injuries and illnesses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, that’s right he spent a year with the 67th Area Support Group in Al Asad Air Base from 2005-2006, but he never left the wire. But he collected more than twenty thousand clams in benefits from the VA. Benefits that should have gone to veterans with real injuries.<\/p>\n

See, here’s my problem with the VA; someone told me about their how in their state, the Pentagon lists 15 POWs, but the VA lists more than 600 residents of the state receiving benefits for being a POW, at a cost of $21,000\/year per veteran. How do these ritards slide through the system? Especially when there are veterans who can’t get what they deserve?<\/p>\n

Do they have a quota of people they just let slide through? Are they on some sort monthly cycle where the applications they process can’t get through and then for five days everyone get in?<\/p>\n

It’s good that they’re prosecuting this douchbag, but how did he get overlooked for 2 years? Especially when there are so many being scrutinized? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
