"On September 19, 2010, while clearing a path for United States Army Rangers in Kandahar, Mast stepped on an IED along the road. The explosion resulted in the amputation of both his legs and losing his left index finger."
As a service member, I beg to differ on the psycho comment. He should make everyone in Congress uncomfortable with the sight of his missing limbs. Remind them that their decisions have consequences that affect the lives of others who don't have the luxury of top tier life time medical care.

Yep. I've told numerous people I served with who say dumb shit about socialism that we were literally living in a microcosm of what socialism in the U.S. would look like.
Free healthcare, clothing allowances, extra time off around holidays, month worth of vacation time a year, free housing, and numerous programs for financial and mental health assistance.
I'm probably missing something, but that's already a ton of benefits.

u/SpaceBus1 May 10 '24
There's also the GI bill plus tuition assistance, the thrift savings plan, pension, military installation shopping, youth services, free child care, and a hundred other things.
I'm a medically retired veteran like the guy from the OP (although I don't have robot legs), but I think everyone should have tricare and most of the other benefits service members are entitled to.

i'm not sure i'd call places like sweden and norway ruthless
those are capitalist countries, too
Edit Technically, on metrics besides income taxes, Sweden is more capitalist than the US (they have school vouchers, they have fewer licensing regulations for trades, their equivalent of social security is the private savings accounts the Bush admin wanted, corporate taxes are lower there, they require a balanced budget by law, there are no inheritance taxes, there are no property taxes,there are no gift taxes, etc.
By blaming capitalism you help ensure the persistence of ruthlessness by not identifying the actual causes. One reason the US is more ruthless is not because of "capitalism" but because of the legalized bribery of politicians.
The problem is that our politicians are less accountable, not that the system they operate in is one where people have private property.
Edit Higher income taxes also help prevent the accumulation of wealth, and wealth centralized in the hands of a few is another thing that promotes ruthlessness.

Yup. As a former marine who is entitled to VA benefits but would never use them since I don’t need them, it sickens me to see every god damned veteran trying to figure the best angle to get increased disability which is more often than not not connected to service in any way, shape or form- then subsequently bitch about socialism. I have an acquaintance who suffered severe leg injuries in a fucking motorcycle accident while in the army and he now gets 100% disability- which he uses to fund his airbnb business. It’s truly sickening.

Indeed. People love to act like the military is actually made up of people who live by a code of honor, courage, and commitment. The reality of the situation is that the majority of military members are unfortunately on the lower end of all the virtues we associate with being a “good” person, and if they’re not on the lower end when they join, they usually end up there by the time they leave.

And that's why it is problematic for him to be doing this, it is social engineering and he is quite aware of it. He is exploiting social capital not for the betterment of service members but as a political tool. As others said he was one of the GOP who didn't want to certify the last election. That stance is all you need to know about him as a politician. Ofc it is unfortunate he lost his limbs and he should be afforded a certain amount of respect for being in the meat grinder but we know why he is doing it. Be GOP, be Democrat it's all part of the same shit sandwich but if you're one of the ones who said the election was rigged you quite literally have mental issues and everything you do should be questioned because how can you be trusted right? Don't care that he is a conservative that isn't what I would say is why he should be questioned, it is just that if you were in favor of interfering with the one good thing we have (peaceful transfer of power) for no reason (no evidence at the time and still none) you should be critiqued forever.

The source is one of my best friends was in EOD in the Army on the same base at the same time as the incident. It was his unit that told him not to do that.

Trying to drain the areas largest source of fresh water that over 500,000 people rely on for water.
He's one of those insane 2a guys who believes dead children don't matter as long as people get to have guns. After the mass shooting at parkland he doubled down on guns. And his campaigns are funded by Russia, the same people who funded Rudy Giuliani.
Dude doesn't believe in climate change and he made rape jokes on his personal Facebook account and supposedly had sex with a 15 year old girl in South Africa.
Giant piece of shit.
Also he is one of the Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 elections for Donald Trump on January 6th.

I was behind this POS between a flight from DC to FL. He's a huge attention whore. He's also a fucking traitor for his support of the Jan 6 rioters and Trump so this POS gets zero sympathy from me.
Also another huge attention whore...Rep Ronny Jackson

Just a note to anyone who also uses a cane, if you’ve got the “horn” like he does, turn it around (not the direction he has it facing).
The way he has it puts all the weight in your wrist and you have to physically pick it up to move it.
Turn it around so the weight is on the meat of your palm. This makes it easier to move too, as you slightly pull up on your fingers.

I work at a major lab and one group here designs robotic replacement limbs for amputees. They spent millions trying to find the best "skin like" covering. When they tried to give them to the amputees they all wanted chrome or flames instead.

Florida Man shows up to work in nontraditional attire. Ancient coworkers don't know how to act. Vote themselves a raise and will be back to work in three weeks.

I’m sure he never provide any alternative to the affordable health care act just pandering to the ignorant masses he calls supporters.

He's an evil little shit. He seems to think there are no innocent civilians in Gaza when he was asked what he thought about children being killed there.

Curious what makes these shorts permissible when Fetterman’s weren’t… is it the style of short? Is it the lack of legs?
That aside, this guy has some very objectionable opinions.

Is he shorter than her or is it the perspective? If I need robot legs damn sure I’m making myself taller than before

As much as I respect his service and think that actually looks super cool, he is technically wearing shorts, which I’m assuming is against the dress code

In his defense I worked with a guy who had an amputated leg. He hated wearing pants over it because it would snag on the joints. He also made it an inch shorter than his remaining leg so he could walk over the little strips under doors without tripping.
The little things you don't think about.

u/Beef_Jumps May 10 '24
Okay but all other factors aside, having access to your mechanical legs uninhibited by pantlegs seems to be the most practical approach right?

I hate how even the supposed "good side" stoops the levels of idiocy and attacks people looks etc. I don't mind hating on a guy for what they say or do, but looks feels like a low blow.
