It's really sad how the VA treats him

When I got out of the service in 1993 I had just had my left knee ACL replaced. That was the first of July. I got out at the end of August. Did I hear a peep out of the VA, Noop. Not one word. I did all my rehab on my own.

The VA has been screwed up for decades, it's gotten worse in the years since Vietnam. Look how long it took for them to call exposure to Agent Orange 'service related', and they STILL won't cover blue water Navy veterans for it.

The guys in Desert Shield/Desert Storm and the burn pits. Holy crap, we burnt everything.....

and then Saddam fired all the oil wells in the area.

The guys coming back from OEF/OIF most all have TBI from breaching charges, and the constant exposure to mortar and artillery explosions, along with fvcked up ROE... and God knows what kind of experimental drugs they gave them for 'anthrax' etc.....

I refuse to go to the VA for treatment. The one time I went, they prescribed Prozac for a sleep disorder....

JAR if you are looking for a TT Z32, one of the HAZCC club members is selling a ruby red pearl one. I'll see if I can copy & paste the link for you.

I'll have to take a look at that. I'd love to have a Z32 again at some point (and not as a daily...)
