Krispy Wafer posted:I'm just recalling that part where Patton hit a guy suffering from PTSD while he was in his hospital bed. And for years that wasn't necessarily considered a bad thing for Patton to have done. That was absolutely considered a bad thing for Patton to have done. People reported on it from the start, word reached Eisenhower and Eisenhower had a poo poo fit over it and ordered Patton to personally apologize to the men and told him in writing that it was a very bad thing he did. The condemnation of Patton for the incident was almost universal, especially once the press and Congress found out. If Patton hadn't been deemed necessary for the war effort he'd have been removed from duty.

John Smith posted:Is my post not factually correct and an accurate summary of the legal issues? If not, do kindly have the moral courage to correct me on any misunderstanding. Shut the gently caress up with this far left far right labelling bullshit. It's this lens that you instinctually, instantly, and continuously hold up to every single situation or conversation and it is painfully unhelpful and makes you look like an idiot.

Maybe he donates a buck or so to Help the Vets to make himself feel better after telling a war widow that a quick read on military.com confirms that she's lying about how awful survivor benefits are. Donating to sham charities is BWM.

John Smith posted:But is it not justified / accurate? You are telling me that the far-left tendency of SA has had no material impact here? That the sharp disparity between my far-right perspective and the far-left perspective of SA is not a major contributing factor? Yes I am abolutely telling you that your atyempt at reduction to meaninglessly wide labels is continuously innacurate. Lol you used it three times in this post alone.

See? Yet another liar. I stand vindicated by my superior moral conduct. However awful my subjective personal opinions may be deemed by SA, at least my own internal moral conduct is honest and forthright. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

You see everything in one dimension like some stick figure carucature. Ok, I want to test your own honesty first. Was oRenj9 factually wrong in his post? Yes or no? I am not interested in whether you agree with his subjective opinion; I refer solely to the factual elements highlighted. Edit: And if it is not the far-left far-right aspects, then what do you think such dishonesty as oRenj9 should be accounted to? I admit I may be wrong, but then what is your explanation then? Just that it is human nature to get all hot and want to win, and therefore accidentally slip into lying to get the upper hand? Or what? Tell me your version then, since I am not willing to deny that I may be wrong. John Smith fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Aug 5, 2018 |

I only stated the absolute fact that a harsh offset/pro-rate policy is not the same as non-payment altogether. I even provided the direct government link explaining said policy. The fact that SA is so furious is a moral fault in SA, rather than any error in me. Unless I did misunderstood the legal issues, in which case fair enough. Shame on you all.

I can't tell if this is GWM or not. My mom is who is hospice care is having trouble remembering to pay her bills and wants me to take over so she doesn't risk her 820 credit score. She will literally never take out another line of credit, but she wants to keep that score. I think I will find some way to sneak the number into her obituary. Going through her bills I also discovered 1/3rd of her pension/social security is being spent by my dumbass brother who has access to her credit card so now I get to deal with that. Unfortunately she's enabled him for so long I don't think I can convince her to cut him off.  And this is what everyone should be seeing.

22 Eargesplitten posted:You're really trying to avoid GIP, aren't you? For someone who respects the military so much you seem hesitant to talk to people in it. Here's a summary someone posted in GIP. If you want to know more look up the SBP-DIC offset, this is just a plain English version because a lot of articles are using terms I wasn't familiar with. You're being very disingenuous here. They aren't being paid "survivor benefits" because they're being paid through essentially the same thing with a different name. And according to this, you always get the SSIA payment no matter what.

I’m doing my part! John Smith you’re the first person I’ve ever blocked or ignored on any social media platform that wasn’t for spam. I routinely argue with flat earthers, evolution deniers, and climate change deniers who don’t have a fraction of the unwarranted arrogance and smug self-satisfaction you’ve recently displayed, so good on you for not only being wrong but being an insufferable twat besides. Have some humility sometime maybe. IN BWM NEWS: One of my best friends got married this week, the bride obsessively planned an outdoor wedding and didn’t have a backup plan in case of inclement weather. Of course a storm cell popped up directly overhead in the hour the wedding was scheduled for. They had outdoor speakers, glassware, exquisite calligraphy menus and schedules, fine linens, the works. About 5% of the stemware broke from the occasional gusts despite everyone trying to hold things down. The venue had a pavilion but it wasn’t entirely sealed and the wind was driving the downpour sideways so there was little protection. They didn’t have sides to the canopy ready so half the storm was unsheltered. When they finally did bring sides they didn’t have enough, nor any way to attach them to the ground, so people had to stand in front of it to support it with their bodies (and had rainwater run down directly into their shoes). They’ve spent $25k on the venue alone, and were probably in the $60k range all told. They also just bought a house. They both have good jobs but the whole situation just makes me feel  Everyone had a blast and honestly it was probably good that the weather was a disaster so she could come around to not giving a gently caress. There was one point where someone asked if she was ok and she said, “Yeah... excuse me I’m just going to stand over here so I can’t any hear more shattering”

I sincerely apologize for starting this. I've always had a feeling that John Smith was just a naive but well intentioned aspie (no, that's not an insult). So I tried to appeal to his concern for people who risk their lives for this country. This made me think of something, though. Can military members even get traditional life insurance? I would think that unless there's a law specifically about that situation an insurance company would look at an application from someone whose job description includes getting shot at and laugh.

I'm pretty sure most life insurance policies exclude acts of war and terrorism. If I remember right that caused a ruckus after 9/11.

John Smith posted:But you were factually wrong. Does your concern for the troops justify lying? You claimed that their family didn't get paid, when the truth was that they got paid less. Is honesty only for other people? I'm sorry everybody else, I never learn. Suppose someone says "I'm going to pay you $1,000 for thing A." Then they also say "I'm going to pay you $1,000 for thing B." Then they come back and say "Actually, since I'm giving you $1,000 for thing A I'm only giving you $300 for thing B. And also I might not give it to you after all, we'll see." Technically they're paying you, but they're not paying you what they originally said they would. Does that make it okay? Especially when you had to pay them to give you thing B. Hoodwinker posted:You pay like $5 a month for Servicemember Group Life Insurance (SGLI) which rewards $400k to your survivors while you serve. That's something at least. A good price at least. Not enough insurance for people making more than private money, but better than nothing. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yes but as touched upon OctaviusBeaver posted:I'm pretty sure most life insurance policies exclude acts of war and terrorism. Many insurers have a 'war clause' so if you're expecting to die on the great Afghan plans then find a provider without it. I did that for a bit because the multi-line discount saved me like fifty bucks a month. bob dobbs is dead posted:correction: e.
