Me. Be American. Serve my country in uniform for 8 years until I get blown up on my second deployment. Never return home so I can serve the federal government in DC and progress career. Serve as a government civilian for another 12 years.
Medically retire because I can’t drive to work anymore and most of my day is spent in the bathroom for one reason or another.
Move back home because that is where my support network is because I have almost daily medical appointments. Can never work again because of medical issues.
Rent on a two-bedroom apartment takes three quarters of my disability pay. A cell phone, internet, and electricity take the rest.
Food puts me slightly in debt. So do girl scout fees and karate classes for my daughter but I will provide no matter what.
Medical expenses that the government is supposed to pay often comes out of my pocket because the Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible for my care and they are efficiently killing veterans.
People call me a leech on society and make me reprove my income almost monthly for any social programs. I am constantly stressed so I’m starting to look the part.
Eventually the debt will catch up to me and I will be on the street with a “disabled veteran please help” sign.
The US department of Veterans Affairs will still claim that there are no homeless veterans.
They have intelligence agencies that crush the vocal ones. I protested and was assaulted after I was arrested. It changed my life. The government granted the agent who assaulted me immunity. You can Google the case and read the details. “Gilson v. Alvarez IV”.
The FBI presented modified evidence in order to try to put me in federal jail because I protested over a thought crime of doing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage because I was holding something over 3 lb. I luckily remembered something from almost a year prior which was on the tape that they excluded.
The system is not good for the people who are trying to fix the system. I was a federal employee and disabled veteran. I’m just trying to make America better. They’ll kill me for it.
