While I do agree with Basser in that it may not have a DIRECT effect on Mooshi's claim, I also still say when the VA squanders hundreds of millions of dollars THAT MONEY HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.

I can not see how rating specialists are so careful with "the governments money" when it comes to us Vets, but when it comes to their own...

hey, its party time, and on "uncles" dime.

Jez. What do I have to do to attain credibility on this site? (Re; Basser"s You are going to have to show me a more credible source than that. Anyone with a computer can write a blog and this person has it in for the VA,) Just because I have a blog rather than a forum-mode like this or the Pink Peggy site is immaterial to credibility. I did the forum model from 2008 to 11. I find the blog less cumbersome and less antagonistic. As for my cites, I make sure they are all easy to confirm. Jim Strickland could never be said to have it in for the VA? Are we on the same planet? My blog is balanced by facts and occasional humor. My takedowns of CAVC rulings are easy to read and comprehend. I don't believe in conspiracies and say as much-frequently. Everything in my book is above reproach and claim tested. My credibility is founded on helping vets win-and I do. I accept nothing and want nothing- no handshake, no medal or fame. The book is strictly to benefit Hepatitis C Vets attaining SC. To borrow a phrase, I call it Pay it Forward.

Mr. Basser, I do not know you nor do I ever recall speaking to you. I find it remarkable that you have formed so complete a picture of me and my belief system. I'm sorry you feel compelled to question my bona fides with so little to base your assumption on. Feel free to follow my links on my site to confirm the truth of my posts.

I'm not the biggest fan of the VA. They did a remarkable job keeping me out for nineteen years. I don't hate them or have an ax to grind. I respect them and their ability to deny legitimate Vets for long periods of time. If I was vindictive, I'd go after them for the 3 botched surgeries and the Alloderm on a Tort claim. I find it more helpful to channel my anger into a book to help others through the maze.Your arguments regarding credibility would be better directed at the VA., Theirs currently seems to be in far worse shape than mine. And TY4YS as well.

Asknod, dont take that the wrong way. I first saw the story on another site myself. It did make me wonder. You Keep blogging as it makes for a very good read.

Folks I have spoken to are unsure how much money was wasted in this latest embarrassment we can call conferencegate.

In order to post information here concerning news articles and events ongoing, We have to list our sources. You woukldnt believe the backstabbers out there who would want to take us down for posting something incorrectly. There are prople watching. I didnt believe this myself until I started traveling around the country getting to talk to other vets and dealing with contracts, unions, Banks and ECT.

Each and every veteran walks a long and winding road, usually alone when dealing with this (Supposedly) non adversarial system. Each of us bears the scars of our in service incidents that caused our service connected issues. How the veteran adapts after the fact and how they process the information and how they finally end up ccoping with the issues is the real test. What are we going to do after the fact? We can turn ourselves into machines to help other veterans like a lot of great people on this site like Broncovet who helps a lot of vets succeed. or we can learn to channel our anger and take iot out in writing like a blog.

Brother I can tell you that my response to Broncovet as he had mentioned your blog was not anything negative. If you want some real answers, I will make an effort to interview Bob Filner or Jeff Miller in the near future. When it happens, I wil invite you in a s a panelist.

I would also like to get you to discuss your blog on the SVR show if you are willing. We have made some life long friends on ths show.

Shoot me a PM with your contact information and we can discuss this one on one.

Regards,

John AKA BAsser

I think it is time I have to explain myself. I originally came to this site to get help. At one time I thought the VA might be helping me but we all know that is BS. As far as me having it out for the VA, that is not true at all. Basser seems to think he knows me and he doesn't have a clue. I appreciate the people who have helped me out and I thank all of you. I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I just don't like how the "system" is a double standard.

As far as taking my toys to another sandbox, that is a GREAT way to help others. I am not jealous of your 100% disability and I am sure you earned it. Don't be so defensive, I am not going to mess with your money. I will be on every so often. All I wanted was help and not get blasted by a site admin. So much for asking for help.

Later.

Mooshi, dont take this negative. Hang around and continue to help Vets.

Your claim will be decided. I hate the fact that it is in Texas, Those RO's are not so good. ( From Experience).

i do agree with you on this issue. The money issue is absurd.
