I just wrote a twenty five page response to that piece of SH!T JC Rider. But it went to "Lost my connection" heaven.

I'll try to start over and shorten it a little.

As a totally disabled US Marine Corps Vietnam Combat Vet, with three purple hearts, (I didn't win any of 'em, I didn't even know I was in a game,) who was diagnosed with "War Neurosis" later changed to PTSD, I would be willing to bet JC never served a day in combat and most likely was never in the service.

As far as other branches of the military goes: I would not be a Totally Disabled Service Connected Marine Corps Vietnam Combat Vet if it wasn't for the Navy Sea Bee's (CB's) that used their bulldozers to push out a LZ for the Army, 101st Airborne helicopter to land and take me to the 3rd medical Battalion in Quang Tri. Or the Marine Corps Helicopter that took me to the Navy Hospital ship the USS Repose for an emergency operation on my head wound. Nor if it wasn't for the biggest airplane I have ever seen, an Air Force Galaxy Strato... something or the other that took me to Japan for 8 more operations on my head and legs.

Yes, I will rag on any and all the different branches of our military but, I will always remember that if it were not for them, all of them I would a dead Marine Corps Vietnam Combat Vet and another name on the Wall.

So screw that piece of crap JC Rider and I thank each and every one of you that served and all of you that supported us, whether or not you served..

Most of the regulars here know I fly a full patch with the Vietnam Vets M/C, most of my brothers are combat Vets. I have never heard even one of them talk the way JC Rider did about another Veteran. Regardless of what branch of service he was in.

As Gunny Hightower would say,  "I was kickin' ass an taken names when his, JC Rider's mom was deciding whether to spit or swallow!" It's clear she made the wrong decision, she should have spit.

It's people like him that give Vets a bad name and make it harder for real Vets to get adequate medical care and compensation. Yes, medical care is vastly improved in the 40 years I have been using the VA system for medical care, but it still inadequate.

Disabled Veterans have not received a raise in compensation sense WW2. Yes, every now and then they give a COLA increase but that's not more than 3% at most.

It's a sad fact that the very same kids that we send into harms way to protect our way of life, justly or not, are forced to live in squaller after they become to disabled to serve anymore. Paying a service connected totally disabled combat veteran under the poverty level is a shame and should be a crime!

I know I got off on a tangent, but people like this piece of SH!T piss me off. It's their fault Veterans are treated like they are. These pieces of crap run their mouths and make people look at real vets with destine.

My club is having a party in Sebring, Fl on the 4th of July, I sure hope JC Rider shows up so he can tell my brother Air Force Veterans they suck! I would like to watch that.

So JC Rider bring your PTSD ravaged butt on down here and run your mouth. Please!

I'm not threating anyone at all, really I'm just inviting a fellow veteran to come on down and get some well needed therapy.

Well now that I got the facts here. Yep JC out of line but as well like I said and Alias put in to perspective. I respect all branches, all services and any one of you guys or gals can call on me if you need to talk AKA write I'm here! I just wanted people to know what PTSD really can do to you and yeah JC come on man...Talk it out do not let this be excuses...Now about me trolling for a thank you
...Badboy... You can hit me in the gut all you want man I will still help you out if you need it. I was just here checking out the place and man I just had to say my peace. There was a little gut shot there for JC to start his tantrum but like all of you said "way out of line." Well I hope that I did not make any enemies here I really like to B.S. with you and hell, maybe just get together and ride for a few days So if anyone is in the California area San Diego or Ventura Give me a Buzz and well hit the road for a spell. Again THANK YOU VETS combat or not..For paving the way!

I had a bad dream the other night.  I dreamed I was getting up in the morning and there were no black T-shirts in the dresser only white ones.

Wow Mr .Rogers was in Vietnam? That's pretty cool but it makes me wonder if he sang to the enemy "F-R-I-E-N-D special! You are my friend, you are special to me."
Oh God I can't believe I remembered that song.
 
Help me...

I really hate to be the one to bust bubbles here but nether Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers were in any type of action. Mr. Rogers was not in the military at all and The Capt. was never in combat.

I stand corrected.  It sucks being a sucker.  Not the first time and likely not the last.

But...but...what about the PTSD?!? You mean that doesn't give you full reign to act like an ass?

It does a little, but not anywhere like JC was posting.  I call his bluff...I can't believe his is a Vet.  Short of posting his DD214 (editted to remove personal info), I will have to call his posts BS.

I don't know the person that is referenced in this thread, or his military record, so I don't know if bbbbbbbbbthe information in question is true or false, but your comment does bring up a good point.

There are many that "claim" to have certain military experience and citations, but investigation has found their claims to be false.

I'm also a member of a Veterans Association (Combat Vet Motorcycle Association), in which 'full members' are required to have been involved in actual combat operations.

And to even be considered for full membership the interested veteran is REQUIRED to submit a copy of their DD214 so their claimed combat experience can be verified, and these military record are checked and verified beforehand.

Don't want to offend anybody but When a fellow vet or biker is in some kind of pissed off mood it is normally my feeling that some one is asking for some kind of help! Again not trying to be hippie child but damn man you can not please everyone. Just that when someone is hurting you try to herlp them out. I just saw a vet asking for help and wanted to relate. Yeah I could have just stood by and watched but that is not my type of personality. I want to be there for my guys as well as those who served in the past. Now I can not even imagine what the Vietnam guys went through I stick around the VFW from time to time and hear some knarly shite. I thank all you guys and hey talking it out is cool. If it come out that it looked as though I was saying diffrent I appologize. So forgive me for trolling in and asking for a thank you...Whatever man! I do what I think is right and I do not need anyone to pat me on the back to let me know that what I am doing is either ok or kissing a$$...I do what I want to because I want to. Thats it for me and me only! It just hit a sore spot that some of you just do not get the biker way...and some would just let a fellow vet go off with out at least trying to listen to what really is being said.

So anyways let us just buy a round of beers hit each other in the face and get another round. Don't sweat the small stuff.
