(2,529 posts)I'm guessing he's got some kind of VA compensation or is waiting (a long time) for it. But, unless you're 100% service connected, your compensation won't be all that much. I had to wait years, and I was lucky my husband was there with emotional and financial support until the VA finally coughed up or I would have had absolutely no way to support myself and the only other child I had left living at home with me. I sure hope this young man gets a disability compensation award that's enough to support him and his family. Or god help him if he got one already and it wasn't enough.

(4,407 posts)that republicans give a fuck about soldiers. Allow me to disabuse you of that notion. Soldiers are tools used to enrich well-connected corporations. They don't bring peace to anyone, they don't bring democracy anywhere. Republicans say all this shit about supporting the troops, but that doesn't actually mean anything. When troops get killed, republicans don't give a shit. When they come back crippled, they're just a drain on the system, taking money that could be used for tax breaks for those well-connected corporations.
Patriotism is getting yourself blown up.

(45,430 posts)Seriously, republicans have no problem cutting assistance to veterans as we have seen recently. They just put on a show of fake outrage and blame the president.
