The Soldier Who Was Mocked by Unemployed Nazi Gerald Platner Speaks

Let me ask veterans here: If you collect full 100% disability from the military, are you able to also work? Because Platner claims to be an "oyster farmer" but also receives full 100% "disability." It seems to me he's that either:

1, he can work, but is bilking the system, because he's another Bernie Sanders laybout who refuses to work and exists perpetually on welfare;

or,

2, he actually can't work, but pretends to be an "oyster farmer" because that sounds like he might actually do some rough-handed work and wants to hide the fact that he's a layabout like his hero Bernie Sanders.

Any ideas? How can he be both so incapable of labor that he's on 100% full disability while also being an "oyster farmer"?

Which is it-- is he a Workin' Man or a Welfare Case? It can't be both, can it?

Update:

Ace, I'm a disabled Vet,yes you can draw 100% and still work.

I know lots of 100% disabled vets who work. Lots of them work for federal, state, and local governments.

I guess "disability" here doesn't have the meaning one might assume it does.

Okay, I guess I should have figured he wouldn't commit benefits fraud right out in the open.

But I've also read he declares no income from his "job" as an "oyster farmer." I think it's his wife's business, and he does not declare income from it on his income tax forms.

Update: From commenters, I think I can guess how this works: You get a percentage "disability" from various wounds you take while in service. This number is not dependent on whether you are or are not actually disabled. It's just a tally of woundings, and you're paid a stipend for life based on that, and it's called "disability" but isn't what your average man on the street would call "disability."

Is that right?

Next item: You may remember that the Nazi Communist Gerald Platner mocked a US soldier who had been shot by a terrorist. Platner laughed about the shooting of an American soldier, critiqued the soldier's abilities, declared that he was incompetent, and said further that he "didn't deserve to live."

That soldier now reveals himself in the WSJ:

Army combat veteran and a Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels in the Wall Street Journal: I'm the Soldier Graham Platner Mocked

"Flannel shirt and all, Graham Platner is Tim Walz on steroids. An entitled brat who campaigns with socialist Bernie Sanders. A real man by the lights of the Democratic Party, he presents himself as "relatable" to working-class Americans, but in reality he's a typical elitist who believes blue-collar, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth rural Americans are stupid and racist. I couldn't care less about the comments he made about me, but they are a reflection of his character. I never thought I'd see the day when Democrats would even consider backing a candidate like this."

Democratic men are having an identity crisis. Maine's Graham Platner, the party's presumptive nominee for U.S. Senate, is a prime example. Mr. Platner presents himself as a savior for working-class Americans while his background screams the opposite and his offensive comments about fellow veterans--including me--speak poorly of his character.

The tough-talking Marine veteran struts around in a Carhartt jacket and jeans, but recent reporting relates that he comes from a prestigious family where he had access to an elite private-school education and a lifestyle of privilege. He also plays up his job as an "oyster farmer," but the only client mentioned in his federal financial disclosure was the restaurant his mother owns.

28 Don't forget, Platner also mocked Chris Kyle.

Oh I did forget that. He claimed Kyle was murdering civilians to pad his kill-count.

Update: Some say the scam isn't the disability -- it's the claim of being an "oyster farmer."

Oyster farming is not really "work," it is - as far as I can tell - either a hobby for eccentrics or a grift. I knew an oyster farmer and it seem you have to get a plot from the state - something like an allotment in UK, where you sign up and wait on a list and then pay a small fee, but then you contract out the actual, you know, farming - the digging and shit.

The Nazi Public Masturbator Who Is Sexually Aroused by the Smell of Male Feces has been attacking Susan Collins for sending him off to war. She voted for the Iraq War, he says, which resulted in this non-working Nazi being shipped off to fight in a war he never signed up for.

Of course, the Nazi Korprophiliac is lying. Collins did vote to authorize military action in Iraq, but Platner signed up for the military two years into the Iraq War, which means his claims of having been sent there against his will by Susan Collins are just more Nazi shit-aroused propaganda.

In new news, Collins points out that not only did he sign up knowing he'd be going straight to war, but additionally, he then signed up to be a mercenary in Blackwater after he was discharged by the US Military.

Now I'm using the word "mercenary" as the left uses it. I have never thought there was anything wrong with military men signing up to make a large salary doing what they had just been doing for Uncle Sam for a small salary. To me it's like giving up your amateur status in golf to accept a prize (which only declared pros can receive).

But that's the way the left sees it-- if you're a private military contractor, you're a "mercenary." And "screw them, I feel nothing," as Platner's no-doubt supporter DailyKos said of four murdered contractors.

This once again proves this Nazi feces-fanatic is lying about Collins "sending him to war." He was a private citizen with no further military obligations when he signed a private contract with a private military contracting firm. Did Susan Collins force this Nazi scum to take a signing bonus and nice salary?

Sen. Susan Collins: "Platner's Decision" To Go To War, "He Was Not Drafted"

"The anger I feel is for the people who sent me," Platner said. "We destroyed Iraq."

"He not only enlisted twice —after the war was started— but he also went to work for... Blackwater," Collins said. https://t.co/HWAQqvN8rJ pic.twitter.com/Yaz6dGgywf

People really do not appreciate how insane it is that Platner went to work for Blackwater--which had to change its name because it was so reviled due to scandal--and now is trying to pass himself off as some poor kid who was sent off to war.
