How does he qualify for 100% disability?
I found this:
To qualify for 100% VA disability benefits, you must demonstrate total and permanent disability due to service-connected conditions, supported by thorough medical evidence.
Eligibility Criteria
Service-Connected Conditions: You must have a disability that is connected to your military service. This can be a single severe condition or a combination of multiple conditions that collectively impair your ability to function. Common conditions that may qualify include severe mental health disorders, loss of limbs, or other debilitating injuries.
2
Total Disability: The VA must determine that your disability is total, meaning it significantly impairs your ability to work or perform daily activities. This can be established through medical documentation that clearly outlines the severity of your condition and its impact on your life.
1
Permanent Disability: For a 100% rating, the VA typically requires that your condition is permanent, meaning it is not expected to improve over time. This can be indicated through ongoing medical evaluations and treatment records.

I don't get it. He is a robust young man and is able to "oyster farm" and run for a Senate seat. How does he qualify?
Am I misunderstanding ?

Getting it drunk on leave I can understand, keeping it for 18 years I can not. nt

He can talk about it all he wants. For me, a nazi tattoo is a dealbreaker.

I haven't been in Maine or seen Janet recently, so I have no recent first hand news.

Tricky of her to make him get a Nazi tattoo 18 years ago and post vile crap on Reddit....

Funny how women are being blamed for a White man's bigotry and poor judgment. nt

Were either of those symbols used by the Death Camp guards? That makes this particularly vile IMO- YMMV

We can discuss this until we're blue in the face. It doesn't change anything

Did he know rape wasn't the victim's fault? Did he know not to disparage LGBT and Blacks?

I think his personality was changed by that severe stroke. Strokes are known to affect the way people think.

Why do they need more tough guy symbols? Isn't the 🇺🇸 USA Flag Enough?
