IN ADDITION, considering the typical ridiculous, absurd and obviously
false claims about my military service that originates from the smear
merchant crackpot gang, I also hereby certify and attest this article is
NOT a secret coded message that only smear gang members such as the
anonymous cyberstalker SteveL and others can decode with his secret
Federal Agent midget decoder and mind reading ring. This means all gang
members inevitable claims that this article is me really claiming in a
soothsaying code (a code crackpots et al gang members can only read of
course which involves the standard nonsensical gang leader mind reading
claims) that (1) I was a CIA cross border assassin that sniper killed Ho
Chi Minh, HOORAH - (2) that I personally killed 1803 enemy soldiers in
Vietnam and then feasted on their bodies (burp) (3) that I was a secret
member of the Mi Lai massacre, (let god sort them out) that I hunted
down and murdered unarmed Priests (take that choir boy) (4) that I was
trained by the Martian Army on Mars, and I have green blood, and
retractable fangs (slurp), (5) that the movie "Rambo" was copied after
my deeds in Vietnam and I still live in caves in the northwest (6) and
best of all, I went to the Carlise War College to study WWII tactics
even before I was born!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHHA. Such preposterous crackpot et
al smear and fraud gang claims about me are, as usual, blatantly false
and equally ridiculous. (Ask them for proof of their claims the next
time they make such ludicrous claims and watch them scurry for their
rocks). Also, note that all of the smear gang's accusations about me
have been (or will be) submitted to a team of independent and highly
qualified investigators, experts on military issues, and the law. I have
already seen some of their written conclusions, and so far all of the
experts agree with me, and some believe I am being smeared and defamed
with fraud, false accusations and obloquy, and two have recommended I
take immediate legal action against members of this smear gang that
conspires together to defame and smear me on a repeated and regular
basis. I will publish all of their opinions about the gang's accusations
when all of their false accusations, forgeries, fraud, false military
record representations, and general obloquy have been investigated and
opined upon by experts).
VA Fraud
Mr. Brooks, for once we agree on something. They should hang this guy
out to dry for forging government do***ents don't you think? What I
cannot understand about the VA is why they do not authenticate each
do***ent they receive from an applicant on a regular basis?
The VA should be able to authenticate all do***ents furnished to them
easily, and if the VA did this kind of con man would not get away with
such outrageous fraud. I know in my case Congressman Andrews was the
one that gathered up all of my medical records (as I was told my records
never left Vietnam) and when the US Army sent him a medical do***ent he
simultaneously sent a copy to me and to the VA replete with the US
Army's cover letter to him stating the origin of the do***ent. (I still
have most of Congressman Andrew's letters, and he still could not find
all of my medical records although he contacted directly each base and
unit I was assigned to. The crazy reason he could not find all of my
medical records was just revealed to me in the past year).
Moreover, all military medical and other records (DD 214 etc)
associated with a high percentage VA disability award usually (almost
always) are required to be processed through the Board of Veteran's
Appeals in Wa****ngton D.C., which is a proper Federal Court.
At that Court, all do***ents involved in the application are
authenticated with the branch of their applicability. Regardless, in my
opinion it is best to have a Congressman or third party (like the DAV)
first receive all do***ents directly from the military branch and then
have him/them forward those do***ents directly from his office to the
VA so the source and authenticity of all do***ents are never in
question. Nevertheless, if a high percentage disability is awarded the
VA will always first authenticate all do***ents, but in the case of
smaller awards they apparently do not.
I don't know how many of these fraud merchants are getting away with
providing false claims and do***ents to the VA, but it seems there are a
lot of them and they are dragging down the VA's budget for real veterans
that have genuine service connected disabilities.
Moreover, your question "I wonder how much you can get for minor wounds
and a severe life threatening reaction to Agent Orange." seems to me to
be some kind of foolish conclusion on your part. First, I do not know
anyone that receives a dime for "minor wounds" or a "severe life
threatening reaction to Agent Orange."
For the VA to award a disability the disability must be (1) service
connected or aggravated, and (2) disabling in some respect. A minor
wound such as the scratch John Kerry received to qualify him for a
purple heart certainly would not result in any kind of permanent or even
short term disability. Band aid scratches and cuts we all received in
Vietnam (well maybe not all but most of us that were under regular
attack for a period of time) are never a basis for a VA disability.
A severe allergic reaction to Agent Orange would not qualify unless one
was encountering Agent Orange in his normal life. However, the Agent
Orange exposure, which is an automatic given for all men that served in
Vietnam during certain periods, has been deemed by Congress to be the
basis and catalyst for all kinds of related maladies and diseases, which
ARE applicable for VA disability awards.
In fact I have been told there is a new medal offered, (Medal not Card)
and I believe it is offered from a private and not an offical source
but since I am not into medals I cannot be sure if what I am being told
is true or not, called the "Order of the Silver Rose" which covers men
that have received disabilities associated by Congress to Agent Orange.
The Agent Orange disability determination is relatively new, and I
suggest anyone that has a malady or a disease that could be associated
with Agent Orange to contact their Congressman before they contact the
VA.
For someone that has not filed for VA benefits yet, or has filed and is
not getting any response, I strongly urge that he does so exclusively
through his Congressman like I did so all records provided the VA comes
from a third party with a military branch cover letter. The
Congressman cannot influence the VA's decision as the VA uses published
statutes and regulations to determine all awards, yet he will locate all
applicable military records directly from the military branch and
he/she will furnish them directly to the VA with confirmation they were
received directly from the US Military branch in question. That process
alone is almost impossible for a Veteran to do, and it is a good job for
a Congressperson's assistant.
I suspect all Congresspersons know this drill by now, and I believe
every veteran that could be entitled to a disability award should use
this approach. (The Congressman will also usually determine whether any
VA claims should be or should not be filed before they are filed due to
existing statutes).
Another point is not all medical records from a Veteran's active duty
service are placed in his Medical Record jacket. Sometimes the military
medical facilities furnish copies to Personnel and sometimes not, and
sometimes a personnel officer will drop them into a wastebasket for
"s****t" or becuase he is pissed at a serviceman for some reason or
another. A Congressman will contact all medical facilities a Veteran
consulted during his active duty for certified copies of their records
applicable to the serviceman in question.
I hope this has cleared up your obvious misunderstanding that VA
disability awards are provided for minor wounds or allergic reactions.
And no, I do not receive any disability awards for those issues, nor for
a purple heart medal which we both know I never received and never said
I did, nor for being a member of the Martian Army either.
Heh
