I can't speak for any of that -
although I enlisted and served
a year as a Reservist, none of it counted as they require a
minimum of 181 days active
duty to qualify for VA benefits
and they booted me with about
158 days active !

What I found somewhat amusing
(and also disturbing) is that when
I went onto a website called 'Been Verified' trying to find and/or
re-connect with old friend and
looked up my own name out of curiosity, I found that I was on SOMEBODY'S 'watch list' ! WTF ?

I don't even follow politics and
(other than comments posted
on the Stage) have only posted
letters to our former president
when he was in office with
comments or suggestions
regarding sending i******s back
to where they belong ! Looks
like the schmucks currently in charge must have gotten into his emails !

That happened to me in several places in Oregon. “Can I see your drivers license please?”. For a bottle of wine and I’m 66? I don’t need your wine that bad. The clerks say “were required to card everybody that buys alcohol and tobacco products”. When I asked why they just say “just doing what we’re told”. Fair enough but who’s telling them that? It’s a , do as your told, area over there for sure and everybody follows the leader. They don’t do that here in Idaho anywhere that I’m aware of.

the one i referred to is a gas station conv store chain called 'big apple'. if i see another one i'm gonna get some beer
and see if they MUST scan the back of my license. i'm thinkin its a blanket corp decision to cover their asses so some dummy doesnt sell 2 a minor. but scanning it into some system i'm not aware of ...i think not

I have had 9 different primary care doctors in 3 years. No health equity. I have no say in my healthcare. Anything I say is recorded as the opposite of what I actually said. My provider is Long Beach CA VAMC.

Make no mistake, the VA only advocates for the VA and not Veterans. The VA has effectively destroyed my health and financial standing.

Again I ask you, why are there still 22 Veteran suicides each and every day? Why are some Veterans committing suicide in VA medical centers? Often by shooting themself in the head? Why is there no real task force to combat this trend?

A common mistake of Veterans is to trust VA mental healthcare. Once treated the VA will make sure you are unfit for your own personal care. Then conservatorship. Many homeless veterans have a monthly stipend of $4,000 or more. But the conservator administrator only gives the Veteran 20-30 % to live on.

Or how about the Los Angeles CA VAMC LEASING OUT VA facilities to private enterprise to a sum of $8,000,000 a year while Homeless Veterans are prevented from the LA VAMC campus. That land was donated to Veterans through a trust and not donated to the VA. There are some homeless Veterans sleeping in tents on the LA VAMC CAMPUS. Tents have size restrictions. Wheel chair Veterans have to crawl in their tent and back in their chair because of these restrictions.

Do not get me wrong. I am happy for you but it is past time for Veterans to get their head out of the sand and see the big picture.

What I am telling you is true and have evidence to prove it. T***h to power. My word is the only thing the government can not take away from me. It’s called integrity and I am paying one hell of a price for speaking the t***h.

I will never take a knee to the liberal c*******ts. I will die defending this once great nation and our freedoms before I ever submit to their extortions and tyrannies.

I at least have the balls to speak the t***h and not hide behind government coercion.

I am not saying that about you but many Veterans are employed by the VA and they are complicit in these crimes my acting like crickets

That's your personal feelings and experience, mine was great in my Beloved Corps, Shot and wounded in Lebanon, Medivaced, back Aviano Italy, then Ramstein AFB,Germany and back to the World which I hadn't seen in more than 2 years, 11 months in Long Beach Naval Medical Center and 3 surgeries later I was out but I've never complained because I'm alive ,my Big Brother isn't (KIA Viet Nam) I believe you have more issues than the VA by listening to your comments, May God Bless You and Help Heal You,,,,,,,,

Their Cash Register requires it when it sees something that requires age verification. It’s computerized cash register. It isn’t their boss it isn’t the Governor it isn’t the Mayor. It will be at all points of sale no matter where you live sooner or later. I’m not offended. I always tell the clerk it’s a compliment at this age to have to show ID. The grocery store clerk has to type in her I’d to ok my age. Most require their barcode scanner to read it.

Police cars have this same technology. I worked on the equipment they use. The software at point of sale require it. When you get pulled over the officer scans that barcode instead of typing all the information on your license. If it is taped over you may get told to remove it by a Law Enforcement Agent. It’s also another step in preventing identification theft. I h**e computers but I’m not offended by getting asked for ID. If you ever go to a concert the same technology may be utilized.

The VA healthcare system has treated, or lack there of, so badly I had to switch to Medicare.

The new administration of government has declared most Veterans like myself as D******c T*******ts. Yes I am now on the FBI D******c T*******t Watchlist which means I have no civil liberties or civil rights.

The DHS and FBI now manage VA healthcare, under the guise of reducing the 22 Veteran suicides each and every day.

It is the 3 agencies that are provoking Veterans to commit suicide.

Fact is the socialist government fears Veterans. Must Veterans v**e conservative, believe in the rule of law, own firearms and have combat/ firearm experience and training.

The VA is now another Gestapo agency of the current administration.

Take C***D for instance. It is designed to purge the military along with any and all political opposition of the Demorat party.

The VA along with the DHS and FBI are nothing more than criminal agencies discriminating against conservatives.

I know because I living the nightmarish hell fabricated misdiagnosis and the withholding of medicine and programs that are needed to heal me from illness and persecution.

Before any negative replies or remarks of statements, I suggest you ask yourself, Why are there still 22 Veteran suicides each day? Why have the VA, DHS and FBI not reported their findings and actions to combat this destruction of Veteran lives by suicide.

The DHS and FBI are in charge, or the regulating authority of Veteran healthcare. They decide Veterans healthcare needs.

The VA by orders of the DHS and FBI have wrongly defined me as something I am not because I am the political opposition to their tyranny.

My driving privileges are suspended because I am not a democrat. Declared bipolar and psychotic without any cognitive testing to prove I am as the VA DHS and FBI claim.

The VA has on multiple occasions with held medicine and federal programs to continue my illegal persecution.

Imagine multiple visits to the VA ER with severe dehydration, blood and urine test levels dangerously close to death and not so much as an IV or medication to restore proper health.

The VA continues to violate its fiduciary and discretionary duties and responsibilities. The VA obstructs, stalls, deceives, denies and sabotages my healthcare to provoke suicide.

95% of all government employees in all agencies, to include federal state county and city employees are registered democrat.

Democrats are the cancer k*****g Veterans and k*****g AMERICA.

Bipolar is WHY you lost license you already told us that. Your Political stance has nothing to do with your diagnosis. So are you trying to tell all of us VA is absolutely perfect if a Republican is in Office? I call bogus that the office of POTUS changes the service in the first place. Your post reveals a lot about you. My neighbor ha no problems at the VA. He uses Medicare and VA and has No BILLS from health care. To assume your a terrorist is crazy too. If you act like one is how anyone gets the title.

Majority of Govt Employees supports the left is because the left supports them. If someone supports you then you support them it’s pretty simple.

I talked to a guy at work that never would retire because was afraid of medical insurance costs. He finally after 40 years of being non active duty he started his VA benefits and SS and retirement. I think many ruin their own lives or ability to get what they need done. It’s just easiest to blame the VA or other agencies instead of learning how to just get what they need.
