I hate the VA. I had to fight those SOBs for 22 years for my disability. I finally have 60% disability, but it should be higher. But, at least I finally got something. The way they determine disability is a utter and complete joke. I have a 20% disability rating on a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. They gave me a 10% rating for my back injury. A complete explosion of the L4-5 disc. I have had two surgeries on it. A spinal fusion and I have all that medal in my back, screws, posts, etc. I have to take stinking pain pills and go to a pain management doctor every month to get the pills for pain, and I have had 35 epidurals on my back. Yet, they rate my shoulder 20% and my back 10%!!! How the heck they reached that is way beyond me. Even the woman on the phone I spoke too could not explain all this crap to me. If the ones making the decisions cannot explain the system, what heck do they think I am suppose to know???
The scum like Fonda who did their crap against the troops during those days had better not cross my path. I would not be held responsible for ringing her stinking neck. Because of her and people like her, men suffered. Men died. I hate fonda and her entire liberal pack. THAT folks is why I hate liberals. What they did to the Vietnam veterans!!!! Today the troops are heroes. Back then, we were called baby killers, spit on in airports, and rejected. A different breed of people today I guess. Forgive my anger friend. It just comes out when I think of scum like Fonda. I have to ask God to forgive me everyday for the anger I feel for those people!
I didn’t serve in Vietnam, or elsewhere. I came of draft age at the wind down to the war. My lottery draw was 352.
Look, I didn’t have to serve to recognize Fonda for who she was. I didn’t take to the anti-war folks. They claimed for a long time, they were fighting for you. Then, as you addressed, look how they treated our men when they came home.
John Kerry is scum. There are people who were involved with the anti-war effort that I literally loathe. As for what I’d do to any of them, I wouldn’t waste my time on them. It would be just one more life they screwed up, and I’ll not grant them that.
God will take care of it.
As for folks going through what you are, I’m very sorry about it. I’m very sorry for how our troops were treated at the end of the war.
I detested it then, and I detest it now.
Hopefully Trump will get the V.A. in much better shape. Hopefully he’ll get folks like you better care.
