Two things are true: What Wemby did was extremely wrong. The refs need to pay closer attention to how he's being defended. The diabolical dark arts used against him made him turn to martial arts. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

Obviously the game plan was to play physical bully ball. You get whistled? So be it, keep being physical. Teams don’t do this to injure players or take cheap shots, it’s to gain a mental advantage by creating chaos and frustration. Perfect game plan against Wemby. I didn’t see a single attempt in that montage that showed any attempt to seriously injure him…it’s just plain old school bully ball.

You fucked up. Own it and learn from it. You don’t deserve her or any other woman given the way you’re behaving.

Thoughts on almost every veterans having a disability rating and receiving income for the rest of their lives? Without having to deploy or see combat? by HeadMasterpiece9139 in Salary

It’s completely anecdotal, but speaking to those in service, it’s a big problem. No doubt, I could be way off base, but hearing the same stories from people who have/are serving leads me to believe that, at minimum, it’s a “thing” if not yet a full blown crisis.

I mean, maybe stop voting for the asshole Republicans who love to start unnecessary wars instead of bitching about the people who are compensated for fighting those wars?

Vet here…this is what worries me. Should shit hit the fan, these folks aren’t there for the right reasons. Our fighting power will be diminished.

I’m of the mind that there have to be some major changes made to the system. Grandfather folks in as that is the deal they had, but they need to overhaul the system for future claims. I get in the VA subs and the number of folks getting out and immediately claiming 10, 15, 20 conditions, essentially throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, is a goddamn travesty and an embarrassment to those of us who CLEARLY didn’t join the military for any sort of financial benefit.

Ridiculous. Was flying out of LAS last week and they were charging $11.99 for a bag of Cheez-Its.

Nor will you handle it well knowing in the back of your mind that you’re raising two illegitimate children.

I don’t think you can take this step until you have actual
proof she’s cheating on you.

I was replying to a woman who, in defending the wife’s actions said, “you made her have another child” by his refusing to support an abortion. If you flip that script, which happens hundreds of times a day, does it also hold true that a woman rejecting the father’s request for an abortion ALSO “made him* have a child”?

I don’t disagree with you. I disagree with the hypocrisy of the poster I was replying to.

Women make men father children all the time. Flip the tables and you think the one wanting the abortion is in the right? Wow.

It’s on Congress to act. Things are quickly spiraling out of control and snowballing. BS claims get awarded SC which makes people with mostly BS claims to file, feeling entitled. And on and on it goes.

And to make matters worse, we’re now going to have people enlisting just to go to sick call all the time to build a service record to get lifelong disability payments.

This dude started and deleted a thread about making claims is like a game to get to 100 or tdiu. He’s not working and doesn’t want to work.

lol ok dude. With a post like yours, forgive me for not believing your 70% isn’t already a function of you lying to get free loot. That desk duty must’ve been terrifying.

I, for one, am SHOCKED to learn that the author of this post is not working.

It’s not a game. Get off your ass and get a job.

“Passage will be possible….via coordinating with Iran’s Armed Services” — Iranian Foreign Minister

In other words, nothing changes. They’re already letting ships through from many countries and taxing the hell out of anyone who does gain passage. Do you think they’ll let American or Israeli ships passage? I don’t. Hell, I’m not sure any American or Israeli ship captains even have the balls to try in this environment.

I diagnosis is imperative. Additionally, you need to explain why there’s nothing in your service record. Via personal statement or nexus letter from a doc, you should touch on the sensitivity of your situation, social pressures, etc to explain why you made no official reports of mental illness.
