NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

A wounded returning Army Veteran speaks out to the cheaters stealing our Social Security money.

ViperJunior 2 days ago

I'm a wounded ex scout sniper veteran who fought in Iraq that is pretty much confined to my bed, recliner and ground. I have a live in home care-taker and I have applied for SSDI. When I read articles like this I am so heartbroken just to think that someone with "mood" disorders fits in the same category as I. I have herniated discs in my neck and back, migraines from a TBI in a roadside explosion, I haven't slept really in over 5 years and my PTSD is really kicking my a$$. It kills me to have to rely on the government either way for "benefits" or "help". I know one day I'll be well enough to have some semblance of a real life and when I do, I will pay back EVERY DAMN PENNY, the govt. gave me!! Its bad enough I got hurt serving my country and freeing millions of oppressed Iraqi women and children but now I have to stoop to govt. aid! People who get benefits for these light issues are really an insult to those of us that really need these benefits to get better! This country is not just facing a financial crisis because of govt. sheriff of nottingham theft, but its facing a battle for its very soul!! Thank you all for your support when my friends and I came back from the war (we won btw). I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    I think Obama and Jack Booted Janet are trying to give away what you earned to illegal aliens, jobs, college, medical care.

    You earned that aid, illegal aliens didnt. Youre not stooping, you paid for it. they didnt...

    The gooobermint did not give you a penny. The American People did to thank you for putting your ass on the line to defend our sorry butts. It's a well deserved gift. Do not return it. If you need to do something because for some reason receiving OUR small token of appreciation makes you feel obligated, pass it forward to another disabled veteran who needs it. Whatever you do, please, please, please, do not let the corrupt bureaucrats in dea sea get their filthy fingers on it. They'll only use it to buy votes.

    To paraphrase Saint Paul’s letter to the Romans (King James Version 15:33), May the God of peace be with you and all your valiant friends.

  • Thank you so much for all your service and sacrifice. You are a PATRIOT, Sir.

    Thank you for your service, sir! Everyone in the US should recognize our heroes, soldiers like you who fought for our country.

    Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that PTSD is currently classified as an anxiety disorder, so anyone who's writing comments making fun of "anxiety" disorders should remember that.

    Viper, I went nearly 40 years fighting my demons after Nam. It took a very close friend to convince me I didn't have to continue to live in my car and collecting veterans benefits wasn't welfare. There is no disgrace in veterans disability. It would be the same for any other job that left you unable to care for yourself. It is part of the contract you made with government and the American people when you offered your services to them. The blank check you wrote.

    Thanks for your service, be proud, and hold your head high. America is over-compensating for the crappy way they treated Nam vets. It is up to you to accept that on our behalf and insure no returning veteran ever again lives out his life being treated as we were after Nam.

    God bless and keep you and yours, my brother.

    Wow! Incredible responses... This really perked me up and gave me just an inkling that there are millions in this country who were paying attention to the sacrifice many of us paid in the recent conflicts. I should have maybe been more specific in what I was trying to portray. I don't mind receiving benefits from the govt. for the numerous and compounded injuries I have from an 18 months tour in central Baghdad. I understand I "earned them". On a personal level, I guess its very hard to find yourself from being the giver, the supplier (of freedoms/sacrifice) to all of a sudden being the one in need. Its a hard transition but I'm ok with it. There are two main issues that bug the hell out of me and my friends who were over there:

    1) The lack of any consideration, mention or welcome from either the media or the govt itself for what was accomplished. I now know what the all the Vietnam Veterans had to go through when they got home, only it must have been 10 times worse. I have been going through the VA system for over 4 years now (almost 4 times weekly) and I would describe my experience as nothing short of miserable, frustrating, incompetent. When ObamaCare was passed recently, I myself started tearing up just thinking of how most Americans now will have to experience what govt. run healtchare is like. The frustration that millions of us veterans have had to deal with for so long will now be shared by most Americans. I have spent countless hours in the waiting rooms looking into the faces of WWII, Korean, Vietnam and OIF/OEF veterans and every single one of them is a sad story of years of neglect :(.

    2) This one is most dear to me. I have personally been injured in a conflict that to me was a humanitarian one. The women and children we helped liberate. The mad man and his terrorist minions were defeated ALL IN THE NAME OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. I took my oath very seriously and every miserable day I woke up I would remind myself of the beauty of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and the CONSTITUTION. That kept me going. I came back home and although I have been dealing with my many injuries, I could not believe that while I was away, my country transformed into something resembling an ideological post constitutional fantasy... I saw American boys DIE for the beauty of our heritage and I feel insulted and spat on to come home to something contrary to what we all fought for, bled for. I am now speaking out - contrary to a soldiers inner pride and not wanting to speak openly of his experiences, because this situation is and could be even worse than what Iraq was like. The last straw for me was reading how the DHS now has 1.5billion HOLLOW POINT ROUNDS in its possession. From my knowledge in history, this is the last maneuver from a tyrannical government before it makes a move for TOTAL CONTROL. I can't sleep at night anyways, just imagine the thoughts I am riddled with now! Its not just me, I hope my words speak out for EVERY soldier who sacrificed in the name of this great Country, this great IDEA OF FREEDOM.

    I guess the reason I posted this here is because when I read this article it really underpins the fight for Americas soul. I gladly accept compensation for injuries incurred from wear and tear and an IED explosion. It kills me that we are considered in the same category of the people mentioned in the article. God bless all of you who feel deep in your core that the sacrifice of my friends and I the millions before me should not go unwasted! Please, I beg all of you as I cannot get out there to speak and knock on doors (although I make phone calls for AFP) to do as much as you can over the next 70 days to spread the word. There are too many of us wounded veterans who are counting on you now. Thank you so much for your incredible support and awareness.
