Yeah, but it provides the opponents with endless entertainment and keeps welfare proponents busy
AndyJohnson
(logged in user) October 30, 2009, 8:19pm (report abuse)This Bill, S 1939 has no more merit than H.R. 3491, which has none of its own merit because there is no qualified evidence that EC or any digestive system cancers are linked to herbicide exposure.
This Bill proposes to make a mockery of veterans disability compensation by compensating those that were not disabled by military service. In other words, a handout. Something for nothing.
This Bill, more appropriately, should be called the Widows Welfare Bill.
Every disabled veteran should be outraged that some folks are seeking to use veterans compensation for personal gain.

I presume that some folks can't seem to fathom ,that there are around 800'000 thousand Blue Water Navy "Fakers" out here just waiting to screw the government out of anything they can get their wretched fingers on! I guess that $2000.00+ a month for getting "Fragged in the ass by friendly fire " is not enough for you! Grow up and face the fact that more people were injured by chemical poisoning than even you can contemplate!

Funny guy
November 3, 2009, 10:24pm (report abuse)In addition to his registered account, "AndyJohnson" posts here under several aliases, using them to create his posse to make it seem as if here were not the Lone Ranger -
aka CRT, Tracer and perhaps others

(logged in user) November 4, 2009, 12:37am (report abuse)This Bill, S 1939 has no more merit than H.R. 2254, which has none of its own merit because there is no qualified evidence that dioxin ever left the land mass of Vietnam and/or was ever available in the offshore environment in sufficient quantity to harm units operating there. Despite all the protestations, the IOM has been unable to find any.

November 4, 2009, 12:48am (report abuse)Here's a challenge for you folks.
Ask the webmaster to look at the IP addresses for all these different users you claim are all Andy Johnson. Since I know I am not Andy I suspect the others are not either. The IP's should show one way or the other.
But that would mean you were wrong so I doubt you would do that.
Folks like the "..." who just want to make noise without leaving a trace. Kind of like how they have gone through life, never accomplishing anything. As if they were never here. Poor excuse for a human being.
to tracer
November 4, 2009, 7:36am (report abuse)you know, it's funny how you show up just at the right time...
as for IP addresses, do you not understand the issue of privacy?
Tracer
November 4, 2009, 1:52pm (report abuse)Privacy has nothing to do with it. Unless the webmaster uses a whois search all he or she will see is the actual IP address, not who is using it. Compare the addresses to see if they are the same. You will find that mine is not the same as anyone elses in the list posted above. That should provide some resolution to your concern.
As to when I show up, I'm an old fart who has trouble sleeping. I may show up at any time.
Have a nice day now.

November 9, 2009, 9:26am (report abuse)Just in: Vietnam veteran exposed to agent orange stateside (this means not boots on the ground in Vietnam for veterans exposed to agent orange) just won the first ever VA claim for Agent Orange exposure, "inside the Continental United States." The claim was granted for Chloracne, Diabetes and Heart Disease with ICD implant, as due to Agent Orange exposure at Fort Gordon GA., in the years 1967-1969. The link: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/11/5/800811/-First-Agent-Orange-case... Have a nice day everyone!!
AndyJohnson
(logged in user) November 9, 2009, 10:10am (report abuse)...and this was a direct claim as SNM's records show chloracne in service and service at a location where herbicide was used. This is not a presumptive claim.

AndyJohnson
(logged in user) November 13, 2009, 5:00pm (report abuse)This must be the shallow end of the gene pool.
Privacy information is information about an individual including, but not limited to, personal identifying information, social security number, payroll number, information on education, financial transactions, medical history including results of drug testing, and criminal or employment history.
The Privacy Act addresses information contained in "Federal systems of records."
The Privacy Act requires that privacy information in the custody of the Federal Government be protected from unauthorized disclosure and provides for both civil and criminal penalties for violation of the act.
Note this is about government releasing this info not about an individual doing so.
AndyJohnson
(logged in user) November 13, 2009, 5:01pm (report abuse)Medical records are protected by HIPAA privacy rule which govern how custodians of medical information must protect it from unauthorized disclosure. This has nothing to do with an individual revealing medical information unless they were a custodian.
