I got free PGA Hope golf lessons! First fucking thing in 30 years I've gotten for free, and it has zero to do with your tax dollars.
At my Legion Post there is a VA officer who researches and finds out how to get more out of uncle stupid for the members. It's like a fucking union, and they will go after anything that's offered. I don't particularly like it, but I'm also not going to tell the survivors of all those meat grinders they aren't owed either. On my list of ills the government perpetuates against us this one is very low, but it is a valid point. Plenty of people game the system.
