You are milking the system, I've seen it done before by two of my former neighbors. First the military then double dip in the military industrial complex. You will live well in retirement not because of enriching the lives of others (being productive) rather collecting tax dollars. If you are truly disabled you wouldn't be drag racing. You ask for an opinion, I would not have responded if not. I am a former draftee and endured your kind for my country. You see I was forced to serve and I was forced to pay taxes all my life. And now you continue to live well off of my tax dollars. JMO

I just want to say something about people being disabled.

I have external ones and internal as well and I am also a Disabled vet. I do get some disability payment from the government but it is in payment for the sacrifice that I gave 30 years ago to give everyone the right to have an opinion; which doesn't make it right. No one knows how difficult it is for me to get out of bed in the morning, to bend down and tie my shoes, or what pain I have during the entire day. I do not show it, I do not talk about it because it is my cross to bear for what I was willing to give for every person in this country.

I really wish people would not talk negatively about any disabled vet because you have no idea what someone went through, especially before the military became soft. We grew up in a different military where we were bodies and just cogs in a big machine. Respect ALL veterans regardless of what they did, what job they held or what injuries you can or can't see.

HONOR, DUTY, COUNTRY !!!

Translated…You’re a scum bag and a lazy piece of shyt!

His early retirement means this lazy fuc doesn’t want to work anymore, rather continue to milk the system living off of tax payers dollars!

This broke dyck pos who’s boosting about “early retirement” and claims he’s financially set, has nothing but junk for a race car and trailer which hasn’t been in competition for 2 years because he doesn’t have the money to rebuild it and last year he custom orders the trailer of his dreams for 30 years and backs out of the deal within days of it being delivered to the dealer again because he didn’t have the money and dream trailer 2.0 still hasn’t been ordered and never will be! You can’t make this shyt up and only on an Internet message board can a broke dyck who ain’t got nothing, boast about early retirement while he’s been milking the system, living off tax payers $ while scanning the system collecting disability.

Not that it has anything to do with all this but I worked nearly 25 years of rotating shift work at the refinery.

I was going to work till age 65 but after working a set of midnight shifts I was driving home (50 mile commute one way) and I fell asleep at the stop light on the truck bypass about eight miles from the house.

It scared the crap out of me. I woke up with the engine running, foot on the brake, no other cars around but I was not sure how long I was asleep. Could have been 30 seconds or 5 minutes. When I got home I told the wife, I'm done the first of the year, I'm not taking a chance on killing someone else or myself.

Luckily I had saved enough to be able to retire. My feeling is that if you're financially able to get out of the work force then do so. Retirement has been great for me.
