Take lead on repealing the 19th amendment? You think a politician in our lifetime will touch this? Are you that disconnected from reality?

I know we kid about this stuff but I would ask you a serious question.

Did you ever, in your life, expect the Supreme Court to consider some of their recent positions; did you ever expect Roe V Wade to be overturned?

No, he/it's a bottom.

I get both sides of what has been said across these two threads, but I take exception to those that think severe injuries don't happen in training or daily tasks.

No one here thinks these things don't happen. We all recognize training and even moving shelters can be hazardous work.

But there are two common reasons for the '25 yo' military retiree to post something like this on social media. He could have been joking, being absurd about his situation. Most, with a presence of mind, inform people what the are joking about.

Or he was boasting.

It may be me, but I find most who go through something like this, don't boast about it -- as in 'look at my paycheck, bitches'.

All of us, vets and non-vets have an equal voice.

PS - Thanks for your service.

His account has videos of him working out, flying to the Dominican Republic to get tattoos, and thirst traps of black girls. Thank you for your service, soldier

I stated in the other thread regarding 100 % disability my observance that this classification seemed to be 'fast-tracked' in the past few years. I used to watch these cases take 5-8 years to process, now this guy has landed his lottery ticket, for doing nothing more than shaving and 'acting' like he served.

Review all 100% disability ratings in the past 15 years. Grade them on your previous scale... I'll bet only a fraction survive in that class. If justified, WE absolutely owe them. But let the others get off the government teat and get to work, like the rest of us.

Some Massie supporter called up a talk radio host recently, espousing his support for all things Massie - listing his great accomplishments.

Wish the radio show host would call the listener back today, but I suspect they don't answer a phone before noon and are, in fact, a functional alcoholic.

I live in Florida, and there was a huge buzz back in February by kids to "protest ICE" within the IB program. A few of my son's friends were going to participate, but the school sent out a letter telling kids that that they could not protest on school grounds, that school doors would be locked, students who left the school to protest would not be allowed back into the school, and it would be treated as an unauthorized absence and zeros would be assigned to all missed tests, quizes, etc.

I think 2 kids walked out and protested.

Best details I read all day. Of course, if you lived in the state of California, the whole district would be closed, while everyone protest.

I wonder if she's a foreign policy expert now.


Journalist ask panel if the Transatlantic relationship has changed?

Facilitator looks at tits and says ... 'you haven't spoken' ... proceeds to find out why... may she be their their Presidential candidate.

As often as needed with a press which is actively hostile and covered for the last banana 'puppet' administration.

Any missile can do that.

Is this a much more affordable method?

Agreed. And I would have thought a couple of torpedoes would have been cheaper.

Before you say they served, so they deserve, and I agree if their claim is legit. The other argument is "I would rather they get it than welfare queens," and again, I agree, but it doesn't have to be one or the other.

Good thread. If the claims are righteous, absolutely. If not, kick them off.

An observation I've made, is the number of people qualifying for 100% disability, have changed. It seemed to be, in the past, very difficult to achieve... taking years to get that approval. An older friend, a Vietnam vet, spent 5-7 years to process very real physical and mental illness.

Most claims seem to be from easily faked issues or issues that we all suffer from as we age. I always figured PTSD was the easiest for scammers to make a claim

---

Now, as you've alluded to, there are vague, not easy to confirm reasons for people being granted this designation. Recently, I watched as a case cut to 18 months for an individual using this as justification.

I've often wondered, with the number of 'sick' individuals who joined the service to have 'tranny' benefits, have we also attracted others who are looking for an equivalent lottery 'meal-ticket' just for being creative and lazy.
