Unless you been blown up by idiocy then made to take it higher and taller, your need beyond their commitment as they lay in safety reveals those fools sending the young, now the old into the breach!

An injured soldier has only memory of home , dash that resolve for America and we’ll be surrounded by dawn with mercenaries…Hack…

I joined the USMC in 86, and served until 90. Then they recalled me for three months in ’91.

 

Finally out, certain not to return, I enrolled in a Business College. When the VA didn’t make with the funds that they’d spent a year payroll deducting me for, I left. I assumed the college screwed up the paperwork and moved to another city for a job. While there I enrolled in another college and went through a semester, waiting for reembursement for tuition. Nothing.

I called the VA. Guess what? They had ‘lost’ my paperwork. So I resubmitted.

 

Guess what?

 

They ‘lost’ it again.

 

After the third time they ‘lost’ it, I gave up. The VA is a joke, the military is a box of tools, and all in all the system reflects the perfectly fvcked up country that the US is.

How long until your doctor tells you he is withholding treatment due to waiting for the government’s transfer payment?
