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.

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.

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.

- And therein lies the main tragedy in all of this. The final realization that they could really care less about his sacrifice. And very likely also begrudge having to pay for his new legs.

McCains son is in the military. Graham himself is still in the military. But they will send their kids in harms way for optics.
