Yep. Talk about entitlements. This has got to be one of the biggest welfare scams out there.

I was at a car show recently when an older gentleman in an Air Force ball cap struck up a conversation about my car. I asked him about his service and told him I did six years of active duty. With that said, his first words were, " do you have a disability?" I was perplexed, didn't know what to say. He said, "it's really a good deal, you should claim hearing loss or something." I was trying to be nice and said, well that was 22 yrs. ago when I got out. He said, oh you should still file a claim, it's worth x amount per month. I can only imagine how many healthy, productive members of society are getting these checks each month.
