LOL.. Touchy subject..
I am a Combat Vet of Viet Nam, 4th inf div 68/69. CIB, Purple Heart and a few others I dont even know what they are for.
I left the field in Viet Nam in a Coma. When I awoke (Lost med file, dont know how long I was in a Coma) I had Total and Complete amniesia (spelling :-( sorry)
I never did get all my memory back and the only part that is Clear, is AFTER I awoke..I had No speech , No recognition of speech Nothing at all. No thinking, Nothing was going on in my brain except Recording what was going on .
It took me over 30 years for This government to acknowlage that I had a problem. And then ONLY after I found a Senator that I had a Personal connection to, Pete Dominicci of New Mexico.. I was having troubles with loseing track of time and passing out.. the VA was dragging their collective feet. Ol Pete got them to look and Finaly admitted I had Epolepsy and Had had it from Viet Nam..I also suffer from Vetry bad PTSD. You cannot got through a year of seeing humanbeings blowen apart and Not have it. I now have a 100% rating and Thanks to Pete for it all.. I am NOT a Flag waver and never will be. This country gives crapp little for You or I and Less for the GI on the front lines..
They Screwed the WWI vets, WWII Vets, Korean Vets, Nam Vets, Desert Storm Vets and now this Feasco..
Ol Pete is Out of office now, and I FEAR every day, they will take a look at Where they can SAVE more money and Take my Dissability away.. I WILL go Postal if they do.. Thats why I Do Not have weapons in my house.
So, is it worth it, Only to those making the MONEY, the REAL Government.
