He joined the Marines at age 23 and served 12 years. Now he’s 32? I’d bet it’s the reporter who screwd up.

And the government needs the money back, why?
We owe our veterans not the other way around. The law needs to be repealed.

Actually, this is not as egregious as it may seem. The law requires the VA to recoup from disability compensation an amount equal to the disability severance paid for the VA compensated disability. For instance, if a Veteran receives $40,000 in disability severance pay from the military for lose of a leg, the VA would recoup that amount from compensation for that particular condition only. They would not withhold compensation for any other condition for which he did not receive severance pay. This is in keeping with a long standing principle that a person is not due double compensation for a loss. Indeed, most accident insurance policies include a provision that any payment for treatment will be recouped from a tort claim for that same accident.
