I’ll BE a 58-year old Veteran next month. It wasn’t me, either! :)
Liberals....................
That said, I'm seeing a pattern here...
Green activist lawyer burns himself to death to protest global warming
My husband met a fellow vet one day, and discovered they had a lot in common. The guy asked my husband if hed ever been to some particular place, I forget where. My husband replied that he wasnt there, in 1977. The other guy said he wasnt there either, in 1976. They went on, discussing all the places they hadnt been. Turns out, they had crossed paths several times.
I think setting oneself on fire is extreme. I dont see how you can interpret that as making it seem logical.
“The man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where troopers said he was severely burned and injured.”
They severely burned and injured him at a hospital? No wonder he was disgruntled.
prayers
so many crazy people....so many “me..me..me” crazies...
people can hate SS or hate the IRS or hate the Dept of Licensing etc...
everyone thinks they are special but infact, to the govt, none of us are "special"...
the fact is, there is nothing the VA can do to make people happier, or more peaceful, or love God more, or make marriages work, etc...
anyone sick in this country can go to any ER and get treatment....they can not turn you away...
Well I hope the suffering doesn’t disappoint him.
He’s in for pure Hell if he lives.
This is horrific.
I dont think that he intended to still be alive. I once burned 10% on my legs to the second degree, (a Hold my beer moment) and it was hellish to recover.
I am praying that this man just gets peace in heaven, after coming to know Jesus.
There is no better just than that.
Garnish his VA benefits to pay the huge medical bills he’s running up. (Burns are really expensive).
Obviously a crazy that couldn’t handle his drugs and who should have been institutionalized in a padded cell.
Shell shock. Battle fatigue.
PTSD is just so lefty/psycho-babble
Just. Damn.
My respects to your husband and his friend.
I wish they’d declassify a lot of those. There are many servicemen who have been short-changed on some awards. Of course, most of them don’t really care about medals.
I’m guessing he may have served under GHW Bush in the early ‘90s Gulf Wars/Desert Storm. He was born in 1960.
“PTSD is just so lefty/psycho-babble”
Whatever you call it, it’s real.
This is some odd behavior. Did he or anyone else get a bead on what he was “protesting” ? Weird.
It’s not much of a spectacle or protest, but the only way I want to go is peacefully in my sleep.
Newt Gingrich had the best and simplest solution for the VA.
Give every vet a card, JUST LIKE A MEDICARE CARD, which can be presented anywhere for medical services.
