Hello, I'm New

[1968 Tet Vet]

Hi, this is my first day on this forum. I like the looks of it, but the participation seems very minimal. WHY? Whats needed to increase the participation and help more vets ?

How ? Thanks.

I'm starting to understand why... there is very little Vet participation on this forum.

Now, I know why. TCM, thats why.

Based on observation of your behavior on this and other veteran’s websites it appears your sole purpose here is to setup a strawman for the purpose of debate and to generate conflict. I won't engage you on that level for any reason.

Your understanding of veteran’s claims issues is appallingly abysmal. You don't know and won't listen to those that do. You appear to have totally mis-managed your own claim because you simply failed to understand the process.

The owner/operators of two veteran’s forums have deleted your accounts. In one case, they were forced to do this twice when you shifted nym's and IP addresses to deceive the operator.

Anyone following your advice will place his own claim at risk.

Here's the POINT: If you don't risk something, you'll derive little benefit, if any. TCM discourages Vets; I encourage Vets. Its a BIG difference. TCM is pro-VA; I am pro-Vet.

BEWARE of TCM's advise !

Most of the following quotes are by Administrators or Moderators. "Pop" is an owner operator as is TBird. both of them have terminated your account/s. Do you believe it was because you were being helpful?

Are all of these people lying or do they have you pegged as someone who's sole purpose is to set up a strawman for the purposes of debate. Are all these folks prosecuting a personal attack against you? We know who you are and it appears you are a problem child.

You use a variety of usernames and shifting IP addresses. Among them are 1968Army, 1968 Army VV, RVNArmy, and 1968 Nam Vet.

I have a URL to each and every one of these direct quotes and I have a lot more. At the moment I'm too lazy to enumerate each and every one.

Pop said: "I could be wrong here but in my opinion, 1968 Army is simply here to cause trouble. He doesnt ask stuff about claims to help him but to start a discussion. Then, once the discussion starts, he tries to use and says "gotcha".

To me, that is deceitful.

We are here to help other veterans that are filing a claim. This is not our job. This is not our life. This is something we do on the side as part of a way of giving something back.

Then we get someone about once every six months that selects an admin or mod and starts to go after them in a professional or personal way.

Although these exercises in talking about these "what ifs" are sometimes interesting, they are also an example of why the VA has to waste so much time. Can you imagine if 68 Army treats the VA this way. Every time he sends something in it causes a delay. Is this the VA's fault?"

You stated your position on this issue, then asked for comments. Five people gave you various reasons for the requirement.

Now you come back and restate your position almost verbatim. What is the point of this exercise? Please tell us"

Pop also said: "Army,

I have the same question.

This is about 5 or 6 questions that you comment on and then ask a question.

Then you see the comments and then you comment on it again, sometimes exactly what you posted before or having another angle on it.

I guess I dont understand the exercise.

It almost seems like you are asking questions and you already know the answer to the question.

Is there something I am missing? Are we a part of a research project or being inspected by the VA or being looked into by you and some other organizations?

What we do if you are not aware is try and help veterans file a well grounded claim to the VARO the first time around so as to receive the proper rating based on their claim. We are all veterans and provide our opinions based on our experiences. Some people have experiences that are more in depth but we try to help each other.

We do so without playing games with each other or by deceiving others in what we do.

I hope that that is not what is happening here."

Obviously the folks that wrote those comments. Do you have a congenital defect or is stupidity a cultural thing for you?

TCM: you are ill and need help. The Moderator of this forum needs to take action against you and your beligerance.

Vike17 says: 1968, you are so full of $hit it isn't even entertaining anymore. It's claims like yours that clog an already overloaded system that is at the brink of exploding. It's bull$hit claims like yours that cause the ungodly wait times for other veterans and their claims. It's claims and appeal like yours, which the veteran is just looking to get to the promised land of the 100% evaluation regardless if the evidence warrants such a rating or not, that want to make me just puke! I've been helping veterans with claims for a long, long time now, and when I see someone trying to milk the system like you , it pisses me off to no end because ultimately there is a veteran that has a legit claim which is being held up because some claim like yours. Leave well enough alone!!!!!!!

To the rest of the board, I hope I did not step on anyones toes here. My post is soley directed at 1968 and his antics, not anyone else and there questions or claims."

Just wondering, Is he lying too? You are just another netk00k infesting one forum or another whilw giving real veterans a bad name.

Now, we all know why there is so little participation from vets on this forum. Its you and your attitude. Its obvious. I don't blame vets for staying as far away from you as possible.

TCM: you keep saying the same old redundent LIES. Can't you come up with some "fresh" lies? Its getting boring to read the same old lies that you tell, over and over.

Geeezzzzz !

You simply aren't worth the effort.
