I'm a Veteran of Desert Sheild/Storm an involuntarily retired almost 20 years ago. I was in the tech industry about 5 years until and old injury, I had while in the Army gave out The VA had to take care of it because it was preexisting injury. The VA botched a surgery with a 99.9% success rate. I was supposed to only lose 20% movement of my ankle and all left and right. I retained 20% and received an ankle that was fused crooked by 7 degrees and a rare pain disease. I went from a job where I was making the same money as the government was going to pay me per month.
