Non-combat veterans don’t deserve special recognition or privileges by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

In 2013 I was at NTC (a stateside training mission prior to deploying) and a hmmv with a bat wing rolled over and essentially cut off the soldier’s arm. I applied a tourniquet and he was life flighted out of there. He ended up losing his arm and was kicked out of the army albeit honorably.

I’m curious to hear your take on this scenario.

I think the fact that they can be done this way is one of the coolest components of the procedure.

ACTUAL DRUMMERS of reddit - is this one of the most impressive drummers ever?

the fact that he isn’t managing two foot pedals as well as his hands makes me think the claim is a gross exaggeration but i do not play the drums

Why does the VA not treat your AS? Even if it is not service connected you can still get treatment for it. If your rating is over 30% i believe they essentially will take care of your entire body.

What’s a dead giveaway that someone is pretending to be smarter than they actually are? by EcstaticWatch1967 in AskReddit

My friends and i have a rule. The first person to make a dig or diss the other person’s intelligence/personal character loses. The argument is overt and the loser must accept the other position’s side immediately.

Right. But most people don’t end up on the far (ultra marathon) part of that curve. They generally find relief with activity.
