?quality=100&strip=all&w=564Retired Master Cpl. Paul Franklin lost both of his legs from just above knee when a bomb hit the vehicle he was driving during a Canadian Forces tour in Afghanistan in January 2006.
Ten years later, he is getting ready to fill out yet another set of forms to tell the Canadian government that, in fact, his legs are still missing.

(1,905 posts)My father lost his leg in 1971. When the conservanazi savior, Ronnie Raygun became president, conservanazis believed that everyone who was on SOcial Security disability were scammers, my dad had to appear befor the SS office and show them his leg hadn't grown back. I had just returned bac from Vietnam. My father was a WWII vet.
Incidents like this are nothing new.
MSG Roy Benevidez, Medal of Honor, mentioned this in his biography.
The conservanazis wanted to screw the poor and others.

All sorts of people were getting letters saying "We've determined you can work, so we're terminating your benefits." There was on man who was so psychotic his file at the SS office said, "Under no circumstances ask this person to visit the office." We got a lot of those decisions overturned, but I always wondered what happened to the people who just gave up.
IMHO, Ronald Reagan was the beginning of what has led us to Trump and the destruction of the United States of America.
