Vet must prove injury

[Monkeyman]

When a roadside bomb detonated in front of his Humvee ,Steve Foss body armor saved his life. But nothing seems able to save him from the mountain of paperwork he faces after leaving the Indiana National Guard.

A fragment from the explosion pieced his shoulder and lodged near the base of his neck. He was rushed to a field hospital just outside of Tal Afar, Iraq in December 2005, where doctors removed frayed muscle and skin and sent him back to his unit.

1. govt should spend more time forcing documentation of

'tax write offs' deductions and the rest for folks making 250,000+ a year (whose IRS audit rate has dropped dramatically, iirc, since bush came to office) than trying to assert that those wounded in military service are trying to commit fraud (which is the essential implied assertion as this request.) Our priorties are so upside down...
