I'm not sure (because I didn't load the link) but I think I already posted this one?

and I think there are some Marines that will take care of this situation... sorry bout his bad Luck...

Craps table woulda been more stable..

LOL.

I see this all the time. I have hung out at many different "posts" (American Legion, VFW, etc..) and you see embellishment of stories all the time.

I probably should be "hockeydad'ed", but I actually don't see much difference than sombody who "ate" themself out of a service and now get disability for "bad knees" or something. You see these types all the time, and they wear a bunch of "vetereans" clothes and tell some stories. Not the same level, but decietfull none the less.

I have seen people fake illness and be medicaly retired. They are just as bad.

You see it on street corners and I find it sad. I never give money to somebody with a sign that says "homeless vet", unless I have time to talk to them. Doesn't take long to figure out if they are lying. Still, I don't waste my time chastizing them, rather turn away in pity.

I don't feel it cheapens my service a bit. I have sat on Administrative Separation Boards and voted to separate Marines under other than honorable (OTH) conditions. Sometime those were really good guys that just couldn't follow some rules. The last one I did was an MP. Good young man, just couldn't stay out of trouble. If he told a few war stories, I wouldn't be mad.

I do realize this guy had no service whatsoever, he just came off pathetic to me. Trust but verify.

Gringo

I like gringococolo's take on the situation.

I'm not opening myself to some of the hair-trigger responders here, but I'd like to say, put yourself in their heads for a day. Not blaming the psychos, because you do not know what's going on inside the skulls of anyone. I stay clear of them, I'm not trained or inclined to help strangers with serious mental issues. Family, friends, yes I care, but I give them room too.

Agree with gringo. We had some fat POS 'retired' Navy guy giving us a lecture at our transition class when I was retiring. He was bragging about how he gets 90% disability.

He's not disabled. He's a fat POS that would have ZERO fuggin health issues if he'd get off his fat ass and lose weight.

And John Q. Taxpayer is paying his retirement AND his disability. He should be ashamed of himself, not bragging.

Clarification: I'm not anti fat-guy. I'm anti fat-guy who is cheating the rest of us and scamming.

Fatist!
