Answer 1

You already answered your own question.

Answer 2

No one forced you to join. There is no draft. You were warned about the illegal war. However, I am sorry you had to suffer so much. You've been through alot. Come on down to the VFW or American Legion. We will make sure you are treated well by the V.A.( One more thing....You should get more than 575 per month...You telling the truth?)

Answer 3

I am so sorry about what happend. I am very proud of everyone one who has stood behind this great country we live in. Only time will heal what has hap pend to you. You will be able to go back to school and hopefully your life will be normal. I lost my brother in in Vietnam in 1967. He was only 19. You can still work. I have a friend who lost a leg and he jet skis and has been in the accounting Field for quite some time. I want to thank you for serving this great place called the USA. I am very proud and you have every right to be pissed off. Good luck.

Answer 4

I know a guy who is rated at 40 percent by the VA and gets about that much...I would start the proccess of cantacting the VA and having your percentage raised...if you live in California you can go to CACVSO.ORG and contact your local rep...these guys are pro's and should be able to help you out...if you are not from California I guess you just have to do the whole mess over again with the VA Hospital near you. Good luck and God Bless

Answer 5

I would say you need to contact a Veteran Service Org. like the American Legion, DAV or the VFW to see if they can get you a upgrade on your disability. There might be other things that you could also get like a yearly clothing allowance.
Thank you for your service and all my best to you and yours.

Answer 6

You no more lost a leg than I lost the computer I'm sitting at now. So Moron (you spelt it totally wrong moron), don't start pleading your pathetic democratic *** over here anymore. Support the VOLUNTEERS who went to fight in a war that you obviously didn't have the balls to fight in. They die for your freedom, and you use the freedom to express total and utter lies. Its fools like you who shoot freedom and then burn the national flag, Go hang yourself, moron

Answer 7

I lost a leg fighting the war! What did i get in return!?


a punch in the face!

Answer 8

Moral of the story:

You should READ and COMPREHEND your enlistment contract before signing up. Did you think if you lost a leg that they were going to move you to Malibu and buy you a Ferrari?

Answer 9

You might like to tell us which War.

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

Respect to a wounded veteran, who should receive better treatment but in the imortal words of Runyard Kipling:

"Tommy Aitkins"*

* =Slang name for a British Soldier of low rank.

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o'beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:

O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's ``Thank you, Mister Atkins,'' when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's ``Thank you, Mr. Atkins,'' when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.

Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy how's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints:
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;

While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
But Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

Answer 10

I have to question if you were really in the service, just by looking at your other questions. If you do really need a leg however, you can have mine. You'll just have to remove from your a$$ first.

Answer 11

Is that the military pension? Sucks! However, you lost your leg, not your eyesight, or your hands, or your complete mobility. A leg. They make good prosthectic legs. Stop pitying yourself, and get a job!
