[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This obviously sucks. But what sucks even more is that some people who are excepted and working have been told to mark their timecards as furloughed. So if this comes to pass, they won't get paid even though they've been working as usual. [/quote]

I’d refuse to do one ounce of work and I wouldn’t go in to office. [/quote]

And that is what sets civil servants apart. Many of us believe in what we do. I for one believe our military service members have earned the health care I provide and to withhold that care because my paycheck may be delayed, or even absent, is disrespectful of their sacrifice.[/quote]

Did you read that WP article about all of the disability fraud veterans are collecting?[/quote]

Not a veteran, but this PALES in comparison the SSDI fraud. I’m shocked at what I see first hand with some relatives I have. [/quote]

[b]There are so many inaccuracies and the language used is offensive and inflammatory.  [/b]It is clear none of these authors have served a day in the military.  The VA doesn’t encourage veterans to file as many claims as possible to “milk the system.”  Many claims are rated at zero but it’s important to get it all on record if it is service connected so you can get it treated later if needed.  These would be listed as “claims” but it doesn’t mean service members get paid anything for it.  [/quote]

I believe you. Years ago WaPo did a story about supposed illegality at my agency. They didn't research the story themselves, they just repeated what they were told by an academic (who was mistaken, and had never contacted us for help understanding) and gave us a few hours to develop a comment. We explained to the reporter why they were incorrect, but they did not use that information or even mention the agency's rebuttal. [/quote]
