Some excuse that records were lost in a fire. <br />Even though I was discharged under a "less than desirable" condition because I mangled a senior officer. I still served my brother in arms well. Records lost in a fire????? give me a break. I'm 67 and I can't get vet bennies. They never heard of me???? At least they can't fuck with my records in owning a gun.<br />Papa Mike<br />IIIm_reichert58https://www.blogger.com/profile/14877913507157658333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-45355827812576971602013-02-23T15:33:03.250-06:002013-02-23T15:33:03.250-06:00Shit Piler - You keep calling me Sir and we're...Shit Piler - You keep calling me Sir and we're gonna have a problem.<br /><br />I do understand what you're saying but understand that I grew up in a military household during the Vietnam war.<br />There were Vets and there were soldiers. Vets were the ones that went to Vietnam, soldiers were the ones that didn't. I still keep that distinction for those that have seen the elephant.<br />I have no problem with referring to another Cold Warrior as a Vet, just not myself.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-74640398826378660752013-02-23T14:37:14.296-06:002013-02-23T14:37:14.296-06:00Bob Owens addressed this issue yesterday.

The letters are sent out to vets who have a conservator (usually another vet) appointed them to oversee their finances because they can't take care it themselves. This is not a general rights denial.
