the army has NOT approved him for full disability. WHY? why aren't we taking care of our returning veterans? stop all the bullshite. why are we sending BILLIONS to other countries when OUR dedicated men and women WHO VOLUNTEERED to join the service need our help so badly? WHY?
Battle Worn
After he was injured in Iraq, Richard Twohig found himself fighting an unexpected foe: the U.S. Army.

THE SHADES IN RICHARD TWOHIG'S GARDEN APARTMENT ARE DRAWN TIGHT AGAINST THE SUMMER SUN. This is partly because it's 94 degrees in Knoxville, Tenn., this afternoon, but also because light can trigger one of his bad headaches, the kind that make his knees buckle. His kids have grown accustomed to dimmed surroundings........
..........Since he was thrown from a moving armored vehicle in Baghdad in May 2003, and landed on his head, the former Army corporal says he has suffered from near-constant headaches. .....
.........Like any member of the armed forces injured in the line of duty and no longer able to serve, Twohig has been grappling with a complicated disability system that determines whether he merits military retirement. Thousands of other soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are dealing with the same process. .............
