well, hell, if the govt can **** all over the military veterans, why are first responders so special? let them fight for every crumb just like the soldiers and sailors who answer the call, and get injured.

true story--during vietnam, if you suffered PTSD, they'd discharge you because you had a 'medical condition'. but they didn't recognize it as legit, so you got ZERO medical help for it from the VA.
a guy i know was in airborne...was part of a demonstration. they told him he landed properly...but all he remembers is fighting with the chute, because it didn't open correctly-it was in what they call a cigar roll.
anyway, broke most of his body. woke up weeks later in hospital, fake knees in place, god knows what all broken.
funny how much one zero can affect a person. the dingbat at the va that entered his info, put him at 10% disability instead of 100%. he had to fight for years with them over that.
'oh, hehe, sorry', she said.
