"I'm a honorably discharged and traumatically brain injured Vietnam veteran, who, as a "reward" for risking my life om am unwinnable war, was "given" a TBI at the VA hospital. The doctors not only mildly brain injured me, but turned me into an epileptic as a result of the stroke that they NEVER told me about! It seems that strokes cause seizures. On my medical or murder discharge records that were received when I, joyously, got out of that "prison," it is stated that seizures shoulld NOT be a problem. However, they were a very BIG "problem" for over 6 years! I suffered grande mal seizures to boot!

I was in the service because, and only because, I was DRAFTED, for I NEVER would have enlisted for that crap! "Professed patriotism may be made the cover for a multitude of sins." This country really "sinned" when it invaded Vietnam, another botched invasion for which it, also, refuses to admit any wrongdoing! Like the equally botched invasion of my then-reliable brain, I KNOW differently!

P.S.-I, almost, "forgot" something, and that is I'm a caring and sensitive human being, also."
