The Trump administration is proposing to monitor the social media accounts of veterans, and if the veterans are “too happy” their disability pensions for PTSD will be reduced. What a fucking joke. forbes.com/sites/imanibar…
During my pension review a couple years ago, I met with a review doctor for 30 minutes. She asked “How are you feeling today?” I responded by saying “I’m doing pretty good.” 2 weeks later I got a letter saying they were removing PTSD from my ratings and reduced my pension 30%.
I had to appeal my case in front of a board. I whipped out a photo of the head of a suicide bomber who jumped on a humvee at my checkpoint and said “This is something I think about at least once a day. Fuck all of you.” They reversed that shit so fast.
There’s absolutely nothing normal about warfare. You send 20-something-year-olds to a foreign country to kill poor brown people, you better cut those fucking checks if they need help. The defense budget is $700B. Sending Billy $700/month isn’t breaking the DoD’s bank.
