VA Disability Beat Down

[airborneranger]

This is a great video of Tammy Duckworth (truly disabled vet) giving a beat down to government contractor who used his prep-school ankle injury to secure 30% disability as well as government contracts for his business. If you don't know, Duckworth lost both her legs and the use of her right arm in Iraq in a helo crash.

I guess I should have named it VA Disability beat down. The title is a bit weird.

That was awesome!

Forwarding to some individuals I know who gamed the system themselves.

I concur with Issa- time well spent! Bravo Mrs. Duckworth, as a fellow Disabled Vet she crushed it! I've seen some pretty awful stuff (take a nice little trip down to the VA Med Center just East of Downtown Denver- very humbling experience) and guys like the one in that video deserve absolutely nothing from this great country, especially since they put nothing in.

Awesome video!

I hope that clown feels like the lowlife scumbag he is.
Kudos to her for calling him out and she is dead bang right, it is shameful that wounded warriors lie and wait because of scumbags like him.
They should make it mandatory for jerks like this to lose all of their Veterans benefits and privileges if caught slamming the system.

He seems like too much a douche to know that he's a POS... but I agree, I hope he feels like shit. I waited 9 months for my rating... and I got off easy- I have a buddy who spent 2 years in Walter Reed and when he finally got out didn't get a rating for 13 months! Thanks to assholes like this.

Back to sensitivity training for you! She has ovaries, not balls.

Shit! Those ovaries are out and dangling around like giant bell clappers. This is my first exposure to her and I don't know all her politics aside from being a Dem, but if she is willing to fight for our vets like this...!

So, this Castillo guy called his Prep School time "on Active Duty".

Did that seem a bit inappropriate and misrepresentative to anyone else?

Yes, it is inappropriate. Plus the statement that he made that he is in so much pain and can't play with his kids is complete bullshit. I have gone through one back surgery and two hip surgeries due to my time in the military. I remember laying on the couch and not being to play with my kids for months and it wasn't from spraining my ankle in prep school football.

Well it also helps that you're not a giant pussy like that Castillo guy. I doubt he could play with his kids even if he wasn't "hurt"- he'd have to be careful not to trip over the tampon string.
