The problem here...is that disability payments weren’t built to this standard in the system. We’d have to take another three-to-five percent of a guy’s salary....to make this work in the next forty years forward. But the question is....where is the line for this?
This reminds me of my Air Force days, and a guy who played on the base basketball team for three years. He’d had various aches and pains, twisted muscles, and at least two operations by the fourth year. Somewhere by age twenty-eight, he was declared disabled and given a discharge from the Air Force...with full disability (100 percent). All of this...from sports. We all shook our heads over this, but you can’t stop these kind of actions.
I worked with the family of a Sergeant who went into a seizure and never came back out. He was kept in an induced coma to try to stop the seizure. When death was imminent, he was medically retired. I argued with the “experts” when they tried to designate him as “50% Disabled.”
the world is just full of insanity....some day, those of us holding it together are just going to explode....
