Hi MH: A little further along in the video he gets to the main point of it all.

When a vet makes application to the VA for disability the VA first stalls for 2 years. In that time 20 percent of the applicants have died.

When making application to the VA for disability the people at the VA take the identifying number you are given and create another identity with it and have the Veterans benifits sent to that number instead of the guy making the claim for disability. It's fraud at its finest.

They create a completely separate identity and have the vets disability check sent to that identity. NOT THE DISABLED VET. It's all done by direct deposit so all they have to do is go around to the various banks every month and pick up the money. No oversight by anyone.

That's a problem. I really don't care if the guy is a crybaby or not, he discovered a very real scam against the vets by doing the research about that number and is trying to do something about it.

And don't think its so easy getting over what a war does to you mentally and emotionally. I made it sure, but most guys don't. It's NOT something that you can just turn your back on and carry on in life. The trips back to the war are real and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. The nightmares and nigthsweats are real and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

IE: I walked into the basement from the garage, my wife, who didn't know any better at the time, said Boooo. MH it took every ounce of self control I could muster to NOT make her part of that concrete wall. I went upstairs and sat in my recliner. Yeah, I knew I was in Michigan. I knew I was sitting in my recliner next to my fireplace looking out the picture window at the beautiful Fall colors - BUT - I was in Cambodia. I hung on for for dear life for the next two and a half hours until that episode was gone. I couldn't talk, all I could do is hang on until it was over.

THAT is a Post Tramatic Stress Disorder episode. It DOES ruin your life. You don't know when they are going to hit, what is going to happen to trigger it but once it happens you're back in the war and there's no coming back until that episode is over with. Usually lasts about an hour. The one I just told you about was one of the bad ones.

Plus there's always the nightmares. Waking up at 4 AM soaking wet, scared to death which makes you scared to go to bed at night. Until Spring 2005 when I handled the PTSD I preferred to sleep during the day. I've spent thousands of nights sitting in my chair hanging on for dear life.

And all that happens on top of being poisoned and parasited, being sicker than hell physically.

Now, I don't know what that guy did over there but I know what I went through. I've been to Cambodia (that IS where hell is located on this planet), I've been on the Ho Chi Minh trail. I was right in the middle of the firefights and blood and screams. It takes a hell of an effort to overcome that stuff. NOT an easy task. It doesn't just go away so you can carry on with life. Not blowing my own horn here, just saying I'm lucky to have discovered the way to overcome it.

For sure politics and favoratism play a roll in life. In that case, fine, get over it and move on. Easy to do. But the war vets? No, it doesn't happen that easily.

But anyway, the guy discovered this scam being perpetrated by various people within the VA so he's trying to do something about it. That's agood thing. He may be physically lazy but I know it takes a hell of an effort mentally and emotionally to go to the lengths he's gone to to expose this thing and try to do something about it. It ain't easy fighting big brother. And he does come up with some very real solutions to resolve the whole thing too. So mentally he's got it together, has done his homework, stood his ground and has real answers that resolve the whole mess. I can't see much wrong with that.
