It behooves us all to be humble when we read this. I honestly believe this is the product of a simply misunderstanding. Mr. Nicely was depending on his American Legion service organization representative to carry the water. Oddly, here he is up at the big house on Indiana Ave. and there’s no Amleggy-ons to be seen anywhere. Something’s amiss. Fortunately, being pro se, he’s going to get another piece of pie and a cup of coffee and another heapin’ helpin’ of VA hospitality. Nobody wants their name on this locomotive. You can almost envisage the headline in the Huntington, W.V.  fish wrap “Wheelchair bound Vet with psychiatric disabilities  given bum’s rush at VA-‘Not our problem says VA spokesman’.”

Here’s the condemned’s rationale for his appeal. If I parse it correctly, it seems he may have injured his back in basic. It also says he’s currently in a wheelchair which is some serious smack talk. VA takes notice if he starts getting diarrhea of the piehole up at the big house.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall down at Amleg Hqtrs.

And here’s the kid gloves.

Knowing that when you arrive at the CAVC unrepresented, you usually get 40 or 50 solicitations for legal services from attorneys, I find it difficult to see how our Veteran Parley here got this far without a winter’s worth of paper to burn in the wood stove.
