“Why don't you try it then and see if your 'theory' is accurate? You must think your condition/disability would not make you eligible for DSP, if as you say, you would have to 'fool' a Dr into certifying your condition as being eligible for the DSP.”
Maybe you missed this bit
“After leaving the military, I worked in disability insurance for nearly 20 years and I can assure you I know how easily doctors can be bought”. Yes, shock horror, there are medical professionals out there whose medical opinion is pretty much founded on the expectations of those who are paying the bills.
Now add “As for having applied for a DSP, though severely disabled, I couldn’t be bothered because my DFRDB combined with funds received progressively selling off my accumulated assets (my book collection), provide me with enough to get by.”
As for my disabilities, let’s just say they are of the kind which means I am in constant pain requiring the scripts for pain relieving medication which cannot be prescribed on a repeat basis. That is, to obtain the medication I’m required to go to my doctor every four weeks at which time the next script for the following 28 days is issued. Needless to say the pain has also led to recurring bouts of severe depression.
That is what I wrote was not based on a theory. I’m speaking from personal experience.
As for, “What influences? How about being bullied at school for looking different, and witnessing Muslims being called terrorists, and told to go "home", and women wearing hijab on the street being spat on? The hatred shown against people from middle eastern countries is worse than any other bigoted prejudice against any wave of new migrants before.”
Such statement beggars’ belief and are akin to excusing paedophilia because the offender were themselves molested as a child.
As for “You don't need to have spent time in uniform to understand commonsense”
You don’t seem to get my point.
I agree entirely that these kinds of organisations have little regard for the survivability of their fighters, with their only selection criteria being, are you a true believer and fit enough to carry a gun. Then from that point onwards whether you live or die is in God’s hands
However my post was directed towards something else entirely; survivability. That is, once the bullets start flying, your life expectancy will be determined by your mental and physical fitness, where the survivability of the weak (both physical and mental) can be counted in minutes if not less.
So unless he has been sidelined somewhere, with his sole responsibility being to guard a broken down tank (Hicks, who isn’t the sharpest tool in any ones shed), then the mere fact that he has been placed into that environment and continues to survive in it, indicates a level of capacity (both physical and mental) well in excess to what he was asserting when resident here.
