Hmm I hadn't thought about that. Mods?Expect more spam as we approach the election. Many republican party types will assume this site is full of good little conservatives.
Yeah, personally I was talking about all of the links the individual that posted directly before me had provided to other threads on here.I don't think Sheldon's post belongs with the others Imperialism posted. Firstly, Sheldon is not a new member - he's been here nearly a year and has nearly 125 posts.
Actually we don't. My disability is tax free and protected by law and exempt from anything. After I get that part, she gets 50% of what's left. Funny thing is that her amount comes to $666! If that don't tell all!That is terrible to hear.
I really like how the disabled veterans have to give their ex's part of their disability pay, even if the spouse re-marries. :banghead:
How in the world is that fair?
Also, sorry for being semi-off topic. This bothers me though, and needs to be fixed, regardless of whether it's just retirement or disability or both.From a Retired Army Major in Fort Smith, Arkansas I was awarded custody of my 4 minor kids and my ex-spouse was ordered to pay me $765 monthly child support. She never did pay it but she left my Army retirement alone. Two years later she remarried and went after my army retirement. By now I was 100 percent disabled service connected and the VA had me waiver my Army retirement pay. The judge awarded her half of the retirement and a back judgment for over $16,000 plus she did not have to pay child support until the judgment was paid. This resulted in her getting out of child support payments and getting a share of my VA disability compensation. My mental health worsened and I lost custody of the kids, my job and the will to live. Eventfully all four of my kids left their mother and came back to me. VA medication & counseling helped me and I remarried and I raised my four children without financial help or emotional help from my ex wife, who avoided paying child support due to the USFSPA.
It bothers me every single month. If they were fooled into signing it away, like I almost was, yes. PM coming.Hmm, on that website you posted quite a few disabled folks mentioned their disability pay being split as well. Check it out again:

I could have misunderstood it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but this is one example I saw:

Better than being full of a bunch of left-leaning liberals.Expect more spam as we approach the election. Many republican party types will assume this site is full of good little conservatives.
I struck up a conversation with a Sargent that had just returned from Iraq while in a Wendy's the other day, and you are 100% they really do appreciate it.Many times I have thanked a military person for his service to our nation. And you know something? They really do appreciate this. You can see it in their faces. Then again, I am one of those who gets emotional whenever the flag is raised, or when the anthem is played, or when watching a movie like "Saving Private Ryan", or when reading a book like "Flags of Our Fathers", or when just taking a drive and enjoying the beauty that is America. I make no apologies or excuses for this, nor do I expect the need to do any such thing. I am so thankful I was born here and not in any other country, anywhere else on earth. I know we are the best there has ever been and most likely the best that will ever be. God did indeed shine his like on Thee.
