Veterans

The rating doesn't bind you to NOT working. And it's not good for you to approach it with that state of mind.

Knowing you here, I know you're going through some tough stuff, but I do not see you as permanently unemployable no matter what the VA says. It's great that they're recognizing the damage war has done to you, but you're too bright and talented to acccept the notion that you can't work.

The replies about volunteering are great, but I think it would be a huge mistake to think that that is all you are relegated to or fit for. You're better than that, and don't ever doubt it.

It would be sad if you limited your dreams and ambitions just because of a VA rating. I see you as more the type of guy who would say fuck'em, thanks for the ratng but I'll fucking work if I want to!

Best wishes as always, brother.
