In my observation...

JB has tempered his attitude towards military aviators over the years here. If he was posting aggregious stuff, it wouldn't fly with me.

The VA/FAA dragnet has caught some gross offenders. People who should have known better and I've been saying for years this was probably coming eventually. It takes pretty willfull ignorance for an officer with 10+ years AD to kid themselves that it's OK to claim VA $$$ and not check that box on the 8500, or report major disability rating items. Yes the system will 100% lead you down that rosy path but at our level you need to know when to set the brake and do the right thing. These aren't 22 year-old E-4's.

Apparently the FAA has also sent threating letters to a lot of vets who have probably done nothing wrong, other than having a lot going on medically. This appears to have an aspect of "witchhunt", the FAA should have put in the effort and done their bureaucratic homework before going off half-cocked. Worst case, politely asked for detailed clarification on anything that somewhow wasn't clear to them in their own records. .Gov idiots.
