I fortunately am not on a list, va treated my case hastily. About a year wait I had. I know people who are still waiting though. 2-3 years later. I wonder if it's because I required treatment actively that maybe my case went steadily to completion? I have no idea. And to be honest I havnt read about the va scandal, just saw a thread somewhere with the title. Need to read about it

What's this 'search' you speak of? Could you go into details about your injuries?

Bergdahl missions. Mountain searches, raids, helicopter drop offs/ air assault missions looking for him. I have messed up legs and back from the weight I carried looking for him, I've even had a .50cal mounted machine gun hit me in the face, the pintle broke when we hit a waddy in pursuit of taliban and it came lose and hit me right in face, i now have to get surgery to fix the tmj from the impact that destroyed my left side of my jaw. From the carrying of weight, i've messed up my legs and back heck, During one air raid at night we had a chinook land us on top of a mountain to run down and raid a collat. However the mountain peek was too small for it to land, so instead of touching all 4 wheels down. It only touched ass end down, while front hovered, going up and down (i give the pilot props) however when I was running off WITH ALL MY WEIGHT AND SAW i must add, it picked up about 10 feet off the ground, i fell out and smashed my knees and kneedcaps into my weapons and the rocks. It farked me up really bad.

While I have all my arms and legs, I receive cortizone shots pain medicine from the va aswell for my daily life but that doesnt help with my sciatica from my disk in my back and my nerve damage. I've been around countless ieds, but i was not injured in those, the maxxpros and rg30 vehicles are pretty badass and fall apart like they should.

I don't really even feel I should have to say these things, but I owe it to you since I gave half an explanation saying im disabled and then you guys assuming im broken completely.

Time to mandate the installation of GoPro's on all combat helmets, all sounds pretty gnarly, minus you guys getting all fked up. Understand those ied's can really mess with your head if they don't get you physically.

Like I said, it sucked, you can see the suck in our faces in this pic. (I just found out about this picture yesterday when one of my friends tagged me in it, me bottom right.)

Not quite sure how you know what my idea of disabled is??
There is an older guy in my hunting club, (60's)? that is drawing a disability check for tennis elbow.(he has been getting this check for years, not just recently) Claims he got it from shifting gears driving a big rig for years. He is in as good of shape as I am, but yet he is "disabled"

He works at our club, he rides his Harley, his new Polaris Razr, etc.....he is far from disabled.

I was feeling like since I have my injuries you were assuming I was a cripple, which is not the case at all. sorry if I misunderstood you, kind of felt not insulted, but yeah don't know what word I'm thinking. But we are on same page now.

The military is a funny thing. My biological father served in the Air Force for 2 years during the 60's. He never left the states and never saw combat. He got a medical discharge for bleeding ulcers. He's almost 72, never held a job for more than a few weeks at a time and never once (since my arrival on this rock), paid taxes.

He's considered "disabled" and has drawn a VA check since the day the AF released him. Pretty farked up, IMO.

I will admit it's hard to believe that someone I interact with on line is part of the biggest news story right now, but I will take you at your word.

Were you ever 'asked' to sign non disclosure papers?

Do you think he is a deserter and traitor?

Ever been approached by the media for your story?
