Just another great reason to join the armed forces

Published July 14th, 2007 in 2000-2011 | 2 Comments »

I watched a news special the other day about soldiers losing their ability to get disability after being discharged from the service for this blanket thing they called “Personality Disorder”, which in most cases is Post traumatic Stress Disorder. Basically, if you see enough body parts flying in your line of vision for a bit, and people see it affecting you, they effectively return you.

If you are unlucky and stupid enough to sign on the dotted line, you have to repay your signing bonus, which could result in you having to pay back  up to $11,000 for doing a job that you got hurt doing.

This has affected roughly 22,475 veterans. Bet they are thinkin twice about why the hell they even joined or cared in the first place.

The saddest stories are the ones where the boys actually kill themselves when they get home because their efforts were so appreciated.

This administration is the BEST EVAH!

    Very sad. Doesn’t the news just piss you off these days? I will read blurbs here and there online, but I refuse to sit and watch the news or Meet the Press or any of that crap because it just makes me more and more angry…

    Sick world.

    [snark]They already made the previous war vets jump through insane hoops to be considered a PTSD candidate, let alone get treatment for it. I guess this just saves everyone the trouble.[/snark]

    I’m tired of this administration’s bullshit. We should never have gone there in the first place, and not only are we wasting money and making a mess of things over there, we’re making a future mess of things over here with all of the damaged, resentful, injured, disabled vets we’re not taking care of.
