U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5) Juan Saro’s backstory has more information here from the absolute leftist Stars & Stripes (Orange Man Bad).
This article is from June, 2025. https://www.stripes.com/veterans/2025-06-30/veterans-congress-legislation-snap-food-18296520.html
Reported facts:
- PO2 Saro, now aged 43, served in USN from 2002-2007, and USNR from 2007-2011.
- PO2 Saro has 100% disability rating from VA.
- Saro suffered a TBI while afloat in the Sea of Japan during 16’ swells. And other infirmities, not disclosed.
- Saro lives in Georgia and divorced his wife.
- Saro is raising two children aged 7 and 9. The kids’ mother is “lost” insofar as Juan has custody of them, and she must have been a real whack job for that to happen.
- Juan says he does not receive Social Security benefits.
I’m assuming Juan is a great father and doing the best for his kids. If you’re here reading or watching, FReepmail me.
I can’t believe that a missing $200/mo will make you starve or put you on the streets.

“I can’t believe that a missing $200/mo will make you starve or put you on the streets.”
That is what just a monthly premium on a full coverage used auto insurance policy is right now if financed.
You bet $200 dollars is a huge deal right now and can absolutely make you or break you with your other bills combined.
Should he not even own a car then?
It won’t he’s making close to $4k a month tax free.
