I’m only snarky about this to avoid just losing my cool, to hear someone talk about disabled vets like some kind of freeloading liars, just sucking off the system drives me up the wall. I can’t imagine a more evil and cynical way to talk about people who were willing to lay down their lives so people on here can live a cushy existence, in the peak of empire, wrapped in the warm blanket of safety and security that our overwhelming military force provides these “titans of industry.”
This statement I responded to casts doubt on every PTSD or sexual assault claim made, ignoring the difficulty in making these, glossing over the idea that going to a foreign country and killing people, watching your friends die and be dismembered, or being assaulted by people that you were supposed to trust with your life, has on someone’s mental health. I find it maximally disgusting, and I stand by what I said.
