If this guy served in the military in any branch that required frequent trips to the range he most likely really suffered his hearing loss from his service to the country, whether or not he ever saw combat. THAT, in case you are as stupid as you sound, is my point. I never saw a day of combat, at least not any that could be claimed as such, but I suffered severe hearing loss from tank firing exercises not to mention machine gun and M3 grease gun firing ranges.
Most likely so did the guy you are talking about suffer losses from non combat related loud noises. He**, an aircraft mechanic is at extreme risk for hearing loss and never spends a day in combat.
Take your phony stories and your non sympathy for the vets who have suffered PTSD and keep them to your self.
We get enough lies from our politicians we don't need from FReepers also.
You are an idiot.
Of course I know how hard it is for a disabled veteran to get paid for a military service disability. As I stated in my previous post, it took “us” over twenty years to get it done.
OTOH, I also offered up an anectdotal example of a veteran I know personally, who lied and cheated his way into a disability designation he did not deserve.
Odd that you don't question that our family needed to prove at an almost insane level of effort, an actually medically documented combat service related disability, but you accept unsubstantiated “claims” of peacetime hearing loss.
How much are you, or a close family member, getting paid each month for (a) “disability”?
Yes I SAID it right out loud.
