is the shutdown helping?

[Dave Stewart]

For the record: It was not my intent to throw stones at anyone that is disabled. My point was that there are a large number of us retired military that are not disabled and still able to function as soldiers and are trained to do so. Having re read my post, I can see where you may have taken my comments to mean I was throwing rocks at folks who draw SS Disability Benefits before normal retirement age....my actual intent was that if you are drawing SS Disability benefits or Military Disablity, then I would consider you not combat functional.


As for fraud in the SS and Military Disability funding...that is another topic.


One thing about Discussion Board Posts.....they are like emails in that two people can read an email or Discussion Board post and read two different meanings....again my intention was not to throw rocks at anyone disabled.
