It means he is getting $650 a month to live on because the military screwed him out of health care after they broke his spine and his mind. Plus medical.


He's been without any medical treatment plan since he left the military after being forced to do butterfly kicks on a cement pad and then getting pushed out because he was broken.

Ummmm ..... $650 doesn't seem like near enough.


When was he in the military and how old was he?

Well, that's what SSI pays. So it's more than he had before.


He's going to meet up with his friends and work out a way to live by means of the computer.


He has a group of bright friends that are helping him develop hardware and software.


He's 36 and he was in the military when he was 18 and has suffered the entire time.


He and his girl have a 2 room share with a friend's mom that is living alone and can't pay her house payment.

That is just awful what they did to your son.
$650 a month and benifits...that is crazy. this man represented your country. They should be giving him at least 4 x that in monthly payments and a home too.
You know my son arliss was a millitary brat here...but without mentioning that he still gets over $1000.00 a month and medical.
Your government shjould be ashamed on what that kid has to live on...for shame!

As you can imagine, he doesn't want to play with anything military any more.
