    Ya, so he’s not really disabled. If his back does actually hurt it’s cuz he’s fat. He’s scamming the system and votes Trump because only he deserves a second free income.

      That’s a stupid amounts of ableist…

      Has it occurred to you that they might be “fat” because they can’t be as active as they once were in service… because they’re now disabled?

        Yes, you definitely know my cousin I see multiple times a year better than me. The multiple times he’s admitted he’s gaming the system to my face mean nothing. He’s super disabled. You are right. I’m a bad person who has no idea what I am talking about.

          It could very well be his way of coping… A lot of people wit disabilities don’t want to be treated as less than… and making you believe that he’s “gaming” the system is a better outcome in their mind than you treating them as less of a human for being disabled.

          “Gaming” the system in this case would require many doctors to sign off on his disability. And yes, I will believe trained doctors over you simply talking with him.

          I’m a bad person who has no idea what I am talking about.

          When you equate all veterans (or even just “plenty”) to what you believe your cousin to be doing? Yes…

              Wow… you must really be a bad person if that’s what you took away from what I said.
