An IRS contractor named Braulio Castillo hurt his foot playing football in military prep school. He never served in the actual military. Then one day, decades later, he used it to get preferred treatment in government contracts. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who lost both her legs and still could lose her arm from combat injuries, felt that this might just be a touch inappropriate. It gets amazing around 4:30.

BRAVO!!! That is definitely the type of politician I could vote for, regardless of party affilliation. She was right on in her assessment of the jackass who played the system at the expense of those truly in need of the services provided by the VA. I also have no doubt that there are those out there who are gloating at the fact that someone got over on the evil government and firmly believe that this idiot is some kind of hero for doing so.

Amazing that Duckworth's reattached arm only gives 20% disability and his twisted ankle earned him a 30%.

It was amusing to see him stall for time to try and figure out where she was going with her questioning, the feeling of impending doom he felt was plain to see.

That was an awesome ass chewing.
