Hard to say. Yep they all should be dead. One of them molested my 8 year old granddaughter who now lives we me. We could only get him 20 years of which he only has to serve 7.

However, this country provides protection to all citizens and I guess we have to abide by the law. Maybe in 7 years from now I will be close enough to death to impose a new sentence on him when he gets out. He sure messed up my little angel's mind and life.

I think they should lose their VA benefits. Yes, they earned them if they were discharged under honorable conditions, but once you become a convicted felon a person should not get those benefits anymore. I think this should be the case for all felons and especially sexual predators. If they choose to be a crimminal, they choose to lose their benefits.

Here's the problem with the current laws and why I disagree with everyone here (and I HATE to do so):

As the laws are written now, ANYONE who has sex with a "minor" has to register as a "sex offender". So, let's say you're 18 year old son has been dating a girl for 2 years, but he turned 18 6 months before his girlfriend did.....if they have sex the boy could spend years in jail and have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Another lesser example (but a bad one none-the-less): Let's say a 28yr old has consensual sex with a 15 year old........although this is still a bad thing to do and there should be repercussions, is it the same as a 40 yr old having sex with an 8 yr old?

These screwed up black/white laws are what makes it SOOOOO difficult for women to prosecute rape, because most of our rape laws fall under one category and many "rapes" are different and the laws governing them should compensate for it. Instead, we have to keep the rape penalties fairly low, because we cannot send someone to jail for 20 years because they had consensual sex with their girlfriend, but it's still ,"technically" rape in the law's eyes.

There are even states where two kids of equal age having consensual sex can be charged with rape because "ANY sex under 18 is illegal and considered to be statutory rape".

With that said, my aunt's husband (complete loser) was caught molesting my 1st cousin's kid (the girl was 6 I believe) and when the guy was caught he committed suicide before he could be charged. Regardless, he got a full veteran's burial due to prior service and a disability. Those types of guys have NO business getting treatment reserved for those who served honorably (both while in service and later in life).

So, what we really need to do is change our laws to reflect TRUE pedophiles that prey on young kids....I don't know about you folks, but most 14 yr old girls look just like 25 yr old girls these days and I think there's a completely different type of crime/thought process involved between consensual sex with a 15 yr old and consensual sex with a 7 year old.

I was "sexually active" at 14 with my 14 year old girlfriend (whom I had been dating for 2 years)....in some areas that would make me a rapist and sexual predator; does that sound right?

So when you hear the term "registered sex offender" keep the aforementioned in mind........the only people who should have to "register" as sex offenders should be those who rape (unconsensual) ANYONE of any age and those who have any sort of sexual contact with kids below the age of 10. There should be some grey area between 10 and 13, but, after that, any consenual sex should be handled differently than "normal" rape cases......

The just "turned" eighteen year old and the almost seventeen year old are one thing, but a 28 and 15 year old...man that's just wrong, they have nothing in common, but the guy wanting sex and the CHILD wanting validation.

I'm outraged that registered sex offenders can get ED drugs from the VA, so that they can offend again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for taking away benies, then they would have to take away anyone that has a felony or class I misdomenor (including DUI) and boy that would sure save the VA mucho big bucks :rolleyes:

But, I don't see it happening, unless we get died in the wool fundelmentelist in office.. B)

Agreed, but should someone do 20 years in prison if some 15 year old girl comes on to him and he's to stupid/ignorant to say no? The law says he should, which is why we can't convict anyone of rape in this country!

I find it a bit hypocritical of americans, in general, to get sooo offended when an older guy finds some teenager attractive, yet the standard of beauty in this country is that of a 16 year old....think about it, what does the average model look like? Thin, not a single wrinkle on her body, perky breasts/butt and porcelain skin....you've just described 99% of girls aged 14-18! In essence, the standard of beauty in this country is modeled around teenagers, yet we freak out when we hear that someone actually had relations with a minor.

With that said, it is still WRONG for adults to prey on young girls who are not mature enough to make those decisions on an adult level.....however, it is a far cry from a true pedophile who is attracted to very young kids. Pedophilia is a disease of the mind, which is typically brought on by childhood experiences (IE - those who were molested tend to be molesters).

So, it may still be wrong, as you say, but it does not rise to the level of a crime that should deny veterans the benefits/recognition they deserve......at least in my opinion....

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
