Posted on October 13, 2014 by asknod

I found out today is actually “Indigenous People’s Day” now rather than the original celebration of Christopher Columbus getting lost in the Atlantic Ocean and finding Hispaniola. If this is true, then wouldn’t it be appropriate to pack up, leave and … Continue reading →

REMODELING THE VIETNAM WAR

Posted on October 12, 2014 by asknod

I get a bang out of listening to some of the younger generation of America, civilian and former military alike, who have a discombobulated perception of what happened in the Vietnam War and why. I also fear that what my … Continue reading →

HARVONI–IT’S HEEEEEEERE!

Posted on October 10, 2014 by asknod

Need I say more? Love the name. Love the idea of two Hep C birth control pills in one with no Ribavirin and no Interferon. Smooth sailing and in less time than you can count in Hepatitis C land. Thank … Continue reading →

eBOBENEFITS–A WHITER SHADE OF PALE

Posted on October 10, 2014 by asknod

At some point in our travails with the Veterans Administration, we reach a divide-a schism so vast, so impenetrable-that we suddenly realize we are dealing with mental midgets. We become cognizant of the fact we no longer are in Kansas and … Continue reading →

VA BONUSES “MAY” BE TIED TO DELAYS

Posted on October 7, 2014 by asknod

Gez, where’d you park the Squad Car, Dick Tracy? May be tied to? How about “We couldn’t have done it without our loyal munchkins who, incidentally, didn’t get a dime of this baksheesh.” I love the indecision about whether $23 million … Continue reading →

LZ CORK–19 JANUARY 1969–THE DAY AFTER

Posted on October 7, 2014 by asknod

I received a call yesterday from my secret VA weapon at Representative Derek Kilmer’s office. The news was confusing as well as disheartening. Nick Carr informed me that the Army REMFs are requiring more proof of Butch Long’s bravery under … Continue reading →

VAOIG FINALLY ADMITS KNOWLEDGE OF COVERUP

Posted on October 6, 2014 by asknod

Here’s a great article on who knew what, what they knew and when they knew it. Seems VA has been peeing on our collective leg and telling us it’s been raining since 2005. I can’t wait for the rotten watermelon over at … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2014 by asknod

From the Vietnam footlocker of life, we pull out a story of one who thankfully missed his opportunity to be immortalized on the Vietnam Wall. On that day, three would die and fifteen would suffer life-altering changes from their wounds. This is … Continue reading →

GUN CONTROL–ONE VET AT A TIME

Posted on October 3, 2014 by asknod

I guess you all knew this was coming. I expect some day every one of us will be given a Bent Brain rating as we separate and handed similar paper. VA can then assign crooked “good ol’ boy” fiduciaries to … Continue reading →
