Y'all know…

…how I feel about what they're doing to my Army. Here's another thing to hate, culled from a class action suit filed against the VA, the AG and others on behalf of Iraq and Afghanistan vets...
The complaint further alleges that federal government officials have improperly induced many soldiers suffering from PTSD to accept "personality disorder" discharges, precluding veterans from obtaining disability benefits or receiving ongoing medical treatment because the disorder is then classified as a pre-existing condition.

"More than 22,500 soldiers across the armed forces have been suspiciously diagnosed and discharged with 'personality disorder' in the last six years, condemning them to a lifetime of disability without any compensation or access to VA medical care," the complaint states.
Shameful. Criminally shameful.

Lawsuit? There should be trials and courts martial for everyone complicit in any wrongful discharge or denial of services.

Hat tip to Gordon.
