There's not much to discuss. He questioned someone's military service and the resultant VA benefits without knowing the circumstances of the soldier's service and encounters. Only that the soldier was working in S-4. I admire TRT for his service and thank him for it. However I believe his question is disrespectful insofar as he no background to offer. The inference being they didn't deserve VA benefits if they were simply a supply clerk, allegedly far from any combat. Hard for me to believe a REMF supply Sargent gets 100 % disability when my Tally gals late husband took 3 years to die a slow painful death from Agent Orange and only got 60 %. Thats what pisses me off... I can understand your frustration, but again you evidently have no idea of her exposure to whatever. To compare her service to his service is not fair. I also have Agent Orange exposure and receive some disability for it. Also have a number of friends who died at an early stage from exposure to agent orange and they received varying amounts of disability. Nor do I know the circumstances of her husband's claim and what agent orange related disability he qualified for. My exposure is related to my cardiac deal. Most of my friend's exposures were more along the cancer deal. The PACT Act expanded the role of agent orange but it may of been too late to help him. The PACT Act also expanded the role of smoke pit exposure in the middle east and in Afghan which may have affected the her claim. |

He asked - [ Got a Gal friend that was in Iraq and the Stan. Supply Sergeant..REMF. Somehow she has rolled that into 100 % Disability. PTSD. How do Supply Sergeants get this level ? She's never been shot , not even shot at.. WTF ] Veterans better toughen up if we are worried about that being disrespectful. People are trying to curtail or shut down discussion on it because of how it was presented . Did you serve toldya? I don't see anybody trying to curtail discussions on this thread. Seems like people answered him honestly whether they agreed with his premise or not. Man, I'm not even going to have to look . You haven't been paying attention if you missed people telling him he shouldn't question things. Yes, I volunteered and serve during the Vietnam era. I was officially in the Army 4 days after turning 17 . With 30 days of unused leave I was still 19 when I got out after a 3 year commitment. Made it to rank of E-4 and would have been an E-5 if I would have re-enlisted. Served in Fort Rucker Alabama and Wildflecken Germany . |

"people telling him he shouldn't question things" is part of the discussion. If he didn't want opposite views, he should have said so at the beginning. Something like DON'T RESPOND IF YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY. Thank you for serving. |

By the way? Are You an attorney and are you representing TRT pro bono.
I always thought TRT was a big boy who is perfectly capable of engaging by hisself.

Something like DON'T RESPOND IF YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY. Thank you for serving. I never questioned that it was part of the discussion. The part where people are saying things shouldn't be discussed because , in their view, it is disrespectful to discuss them. read the thread again if you aren't keeping up , if you will. |

I haven't billed him yet so it could be a pro bono thing. He did have a nice compliment about my wife , which is more than some of you sticking up for the lady in question,( which could be someone taking advantage of the system ) have shown. Him being as highlighted would give me concern should anyone take him up on his offer. Threesomes are definitely out of the question at this point. |

Just like when a Hottie drinks too much in a Bar and gets assaulted in the parking lot...
Let's sue the bar for Lifetime payments..
I don't know her story yet but I hear about a Front Line Grunt that got Agent Oranged many times and died a slow painful death on his 60 %, and this gal is having her nails and hair done twice a month with her 100 % .
Don't seem right to me and I'm kinda pissed about it.

Your GF's husband deserved better and it's unfortunate that that there are so many hoops that vets have to jump through to get what they rightly deserve.
That said, they have to have those hoops in place to keep the undeserving out. Obviously your neighbor qualified, don't begrudge her.
If you feel so strongly about getting vets what they deserve, figure out a way to help them.
My Viet Nam vet buddy had a hell of a time getting his benefits. Today he spends a lot of time helping others get what they deserve, says it gives him a ton of satisfaction helping the others.

Don't seem right to me and I'm kinda pissed about it. Here’s the thing. There’s always people who game the system. That’s true of anything where someone stands to get money from the government. Somewhere in this world is a logistics officer who legitimately has full disability, and another one who’s playing up a minor element for free money. It is what it is. |

I mean the guy lives a collapsing singlewide, out in the boonies, at the end of a dirt road with a girlfriend who's shacked up with a young 50 year old man in Tampa. |
