Someone had my back article

Liyah Stewart got two awards when she graduated from Auburn’s Harrison College of Pharmacy in May.

One for her, another for her furry friend: a Labrador mix named Johnson.

“The dean of the pharmacy school, Leigh Ann Ross, asked, ‘Hey, can I put this patch on him? It’s like a little Auburn patch that says Auburn graduate. And then it has like a paw print on the center with the Auburn insignia,” she said.

The two most notable things Auburn has done in recent memory are one of their fans coming up with the “corndog” moniker and the Kick Six game.

They’re more deserving of pity than to be scorned but we can manage a healthy balance of the two towards them.

Glad the vet vet and the other vets are on the same page here.

The military PTSD claims are so fricking out of control. I appreciate the message but she was a damn Pharmacy Tech in the military. Everyone is claiming PTSD and getting paid for it now. If you were a trigger puller and left CONUS, sure. But when you peeled potatoes in Maryland for two years don't run around talking about your PTSD.

ETA: she needed a fricking dog to lead her arse around to graduate college? Give me a break. She's got mental issues but the military didn't cause them.

Just like the disability claims. Everyone coming out the military now has some sort of "disability"

The article says she was raped in the military. If true that's a pretty valid reason to have PTSD.

It really doesn’t change his statement though. Mental health claims are beyond out of control because it’s too easy to manipulate.

I know a guy that was a meteorologist that is on disability for ptsd. frickin weatherman but I guess he heard gunshots from the base. I used to live in Jackson Ms I want a check for ptsd. You tell me what’s more dangerous a military base in the Middle East or the streets of Jackson.
