Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't interrupt the LARP'er orgy shitting VA Disability recipients https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeHBlb3g3d2kyb3pvYmQyaXYyODZ3bmEzazljNGVnMjY1MmQwMjlpMSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/L2lmd850bttBvzcHgV/giphy.gif I did two deployments to Iraq as an Infantryman. Then I worked with SEALS, Army SF, Rangers, etc for years. Ironically - a number of the SEALs I know refer to training as LARPing these days. In any event - I suspect the majority of people pointing out VA disability fraud are the people that directly witnessed it like myself. Most "LARP"ers - of the type you're referring to - would be too scared to go against the modern veteran "protected class." I also suspect from experience that the majority of people defending it are on the take themselves. The simple reality is, the military takes in a lot of lower middle class Americans and provides the majority of them with job training that's pretty much worthless once they get out. Factor in the pendulum swinging away from the Vietnam-era treatment of veterans to almost universal "hero" worship and it's no surprise that Joe Veteran would rather collect 2-3k/mo tax free for the rest of his life after a 4-year stint then actually put in 20 years of service to get roughly the same amount. Hell - even the retirees tend to double dip these days and get both. Since the military is drawing from the exact same pool of people as all the other "men without work" described in this thread - what's so difficult to understand? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My wife is part German and I have property there so I have some experience; Are you sure they can't find work because of 449 euros and not because of the fact that Germany has an average of close to 1 child per woman and everyone there is old as fuck with their population dying off so there's nobody to do those types of menial jobs? they don't want to work - the 449 Euros is just for food and what ever. Everything else is paid directly to the Landlord this way they can not stiff the Landlord two people can live on 1000 euros - even better if they have kids which means they get more they get there health insurance covered and so much more they could earn 1500 - 2000 euros but before taxes - and taxes are high in Germany for some they say I am not getting out of bed for 300 or 400 Euros and than onto of that pay taxes they rather be home and "get paid" for chilling at home they would have to get a Car to get to work or use Public Transportation to get to work they are just lazy I grew up in Berlin and back than that was not the case - if you got money from the Gov. you had to still work - for example clean streets etc. that was called Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme if you refused to do that money was cut same with the Military if you did not want to sever you had to work with old people, sick people or other Social Services that no longer exists + I am back in Berlin every year for several month Streets used to be clean - they look like shit there is a large segment of young people - however most of the come from "Shitholes" and they do "Shithole" things here It's pretty sad to see how some area have completely gone to shits. One side of the Road has all immigrants and they destroy everything the other side is clean because of who lives there |

You can not completely fail. .Gov insures you can not fail. Cold air and hunger are true motivators. Free housing and vouchers for food don't. Grew up fearing failure. Never will I fail. thats because the "social safety net" has become a hammock |

I guess if 'nothing' means paying and funding everything like your and my paycheck and benefits for the duration we received them. Perhaps you should take a basic course in accounting where you'll discover that if you pay a percentage below 100 of your 100% government earnings in taxes - you're still a net negative to the books. Some of us appreciate the benefits we actually earned - like 100k in free college tuition for myself. ...rather than the benefits we didn't - like fake, fraudulent VA disability claims. VA disability fraudsters and their supporters are pieces of shit and there's no need to compare and contrast them with civilian fraudsters since to be perfectly clear - both are pieces of shit. I actually hold fellow veterans to a higher standard though since their negative actions affect the reputation of the rest of us. |

Corporations and our government spent the last 30 years trashing the middle and working class. To the point where getting a job, being promoted or not getting fired is about box checking what protected class you are. Not your competency.
All directed at white men, the only group that formally never was a net drain on social services. That destroys any incentive to work. |

I am a pretty lazy fucker. I pay people to change my truck's oil and have seriously considered paying people to mow my lawn. I need a full time job though. Not just for the money, it gives me a purpose. A man needs problems that need solved or tasks to complete.
It's nice day dream to think about having enough money for free to live a life of no work, but in reality I know that I would become unhappy. I don't need to be the most important person in the room, but I need to have responsibility. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: People lost the sense of pride Quote HistoryQuoted: People lost the sense of pride Some of us still have it. Nice family, clean well kept house and lawn. Would do things to always improve all of it. I try to do this. Sometimes it takes a while as I have to do things in steps; but it gets done. Would bring out the lawn tractor and all the men would stand around it yepping and uh huhing. Lol, I do this with my older neighbors. One will bring his mower over to let the other work on it, then if I'm home, I'll eventually wind up over there and we'll stand around talking and not getting a whole lot done for about an hour or so. They're both retired, and if it's my off day then I usually have nothing better to do. Bob would be out edging his lawn and hosing the dirt off the road and walk. Yep, I always blow off the porch, sidewalk, driveway, and edge of the road after I mow. If you don't, then it looks even worse than if you just let the grass grow all crazy. Neighbors baler shit a sheer pin over on my side of his property and I went in and got him one I had and we fixed it so he could continue. He didn't have to ask, I didn't tell him I had one I just walked away when he said that and came back 5 minutes later with a pin and a couple bottles of water and we yepped and uh huhed for a few. Yep, it's like that with me and my neighbors. If one of us needs something, chances are the other one has an extra one or can at least help with the work of fixing whatever's broken. But you are correct. Almost all of that life has disappeared. People aren't taking pride in things, anymore. I try to teach my nieces and nephews to take pride in what they do, no matter what it is. So hopefully than can learn and then pass it on to their kids, if they have any. |

Regardless of what people fancy themselves to be, everyone who can work and doesn't is by definition a liberal, because unproductive government entitlement parasitism is a liberal value.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My hypothesis is that in any industry, any business, any place of work the same paradigm exists more or less: 25% of the workforce is the engine, the highly effective, competent, etc, 75% of the workforce is either superfluous or there only to support the other 25% by picking up some of the workflow, albeit far less effectively or efficiently than the 25%'er. During the lockdowns, it was the 25% that kept everything going. They just picked up the slack, but nobody can maintain that tempo forever. So either the other 75% are going to have to take up some of the workflow or things are going to stop working. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Been thinking about this lately. During Covid I was surprised at how few people were actually needed to run things, to keep the lights on and the water running.

I have a cousin living off of his PTSD disability. He has it from unloading coffins stateside. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not sure what you're saying there. I was pointing out the sad truth that there are a number of things that can lead to PTSD that aren't combat related (or, at least not two way range combat), not suggesting you can or should fake not having it.

That and I'm a drive by poster so my consistency is terrible. I can't shitpost and be serious at the same time either |

That and I'm a drive by poster so my consistency is terrible. I can't shitpost and be serious at the same time either “Coached” to accurately describe symptoms using the language of the VA. It’s fucked up such coaching is needed. I’ve used the gun shop analogy before. If a customer comes in asking for a “clip for my Glock 40” a gun store run by the VA would say fuck off, go away. If they cared about their customers they would ask a few questions to clarify what model, caliber and capacity of magazine the customer was seeking. I “coach” the customer to speak precisely and ask for “a 15-round factory magazine for a Glock model 22.” I’ll add an actual VA language example. A veteran that suffers service connected headaches. The headaches are so severe that the veteran must lay down in a dark room for several hours until they go away. The VA term for that is “completely prostrating.” If the veteran tells the C&P examiner he has to lay down in a dark room for several hours he gets a lower rating that if he simply says his migraines are completely prostrating. Even though it’s the same thing. If the veteran says the headaches cause him to frequently miss work he gets a lower rating than if he tells the examiner exactly how many full and partial days of work were missed in the prior 12-months due to headaches. So I “coach” them to upload time sheets and sick day sheets to the VA as part of their claim. |

Or he’s full of shit meaning he’s an extraordinarily resilient human being who did not suffer negative mental health issues from working a detail the military admits causes mental health conditions? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is what happens when college was opened up to those without the intellectual horsepower to actually utilize a real education Can't say I disagree with you, it (at least) contributed to the current state of affairs for sure. Some of the dumbest motherfuckers I've ever met have been college-educated... and even more so, some of the most atrocious spelling/grammar I've ever seen comes from college "graduates." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 10% for the tinnitus. Explosives in urban environments will ring your bell pretty good. 0% for tinnitus, 10% for hearing loss (partial).
