This corrupt asshat. Nuff said. 2. The absolute pitiful state of affairs that our veterans have to deal with. I myself am 30% for a line of duty incident that literally had me on my deathbed and I STILL have a twinge of guilt sometimes about taking that.

At that rate, he's getting about 800 bucks a month. I was in a truck accident in the Marines and all I get for my broken back is 40%? I've been fighting the VA for over 9 years trying to get my full benefits. I have jumped through all of their hoops and still had to hire a lawyer.<br /><br />The fact that there are law firms with names like Legal Help for Veterans tells us there is something seriously wrong with the system.
