🚨VA DISABILITY FRAUD IS A REAL PROBLEM.

A few weeks ago, I was playing a catchup with old coworker.

A few weeks ago, I was playing a catchup with old coworker.
When we worked together, he was a GS-12. Now he's a GS-14.
Former Marine. Six years of service. Two deployments doing embassy security in Qatar around 2014.
He tells me he just bought a Porsche 911 GT3.
I laughed and said:
“Bro, you're a GS-14 making around $147K. How the hell are you affording a GT3?”
His answer?
“I got reevaluated by the VA. I'm 100% now.”
That's roughly $3,938.58 a month tax-free on top of his federal salary.
I asked him the obvious question:
“How the hell did you get 100%? You were never in a combat zone and I don't remember you ever getting injured.”
His response?
“Bro, you know how it is out there. You've been deployed.”
I almost fell out of my chair.
I said:
“Yeah. I'VE been deployed. I've been blown up. I've actually been in combat zones. YOU haven't.”
Then I asked:
“So what exactly are you claiming? PTSD from banging chicks in Qatar?”
Dead silence.
He hasn't spoken to me since.
And before someone starts crying about “hating on veterans”:
I LOVE veterans getting every benefit they legitimately earned.
If you have a legitimate service-connected disability, take every damn dollar you're entitled to.
But if you're healthy, never saw combat, never suffered a serious injury, and somehow walk into the VA and come out with a 100% disability rating, while collecting nearly $47,000 a year tax-free on top of a six-figure federal salary...
I have questions.
Because that's not “working the system.”
That's abusing a system that was created for veterans who actually sacrificed.
And ultimately, taxpayers are footing the bill.
The VA should aggressively investigate fraudulent claims.
Because every fake disability claim makes it harder to trust the legitimate ones—and veterans who actually need help shouldn't have to compete with people gaming the system.
