This is what "Congressional Oversight" is supposed to be about. Indeed, this is what it was always supposed to be about. Tammy Duckworth, who lost both legs and had her arm sewn back on, mostly, lays it down. A businessman is called out. It seems his company got something like $500 million in contracts from the government, primarily because his company was a "small business, disabled veteran owned." His disability? When he was in a civilian prep-school, he twisted his ankle playing football. The prep school was Marion, which is a private company, a private institution, not military at all. But I guess, maybe, he was in "Pre-ROTC?" Folks, just because you dress up, that does not make you military. Anyway, the guy went on to play quarterback in college, though he never actually served a day in the military. He never carried a rifle. He was never on maneuvers. And he sure as hell never went to war. Yet he claims "disabled vet" status? Representative Duckworth, who knows something about sacrifice to your nation, tears this man a new orifice. And I, for one, would ask that everyone, regardless of politics, forward the clip. This man, and those like him, hurt us.
