What a b!tch. She is "ripping" this man for a VA rating system not in his control. She is essentially saying he is a fraud, that his service has no bearing on his condition without any way of determining if his service made this condition worse (it did FWIW). This needs to be in the open as the VA really does veterans many good-and bad- things. Using this veteran as a whipping boy is a bad, bad thing. Seeking emotional release at another veterans expense is as low as it gets and as I see it gets no respect from this retired, disabled veteran who lives with often debilitating pains. I have just learned that life is too short to let these disabilities stop me. Slow me down? Yes, but I am in charge of my decisions.
Castillo, thank you for your service. Duckworth, shame on you for sh!tting on one of your brothers. Yes, your rating should be higher, but it would appear that you are making a living running your mouth, no arm required...
Why my outrage? Read above and figure it out... No way would she ever get my vote. Find another way to fix the rating system, don't wreck a veterans life for personnel gain. I am steaming at this, what a traitorous B!TCH.....
