I hope this posts OK. If not possibly someone can do it properly for me.

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SAID THIS
Congresswomen Duckworth was brilliant and brings to mind the fact that she is a real war hero. She held the rank of captain and was a helicopter pilot. Her helicopter was shot down over Iraq and she lost both of her legs and use of her right arm.
Mr. Castillo's business received $500 million dollars in federal business because he claimed he was a disabled veteran. Mr. Castillo's injury consists of hurting his foot while playing football at an elite college prep school! He never served a day in the service of his country, but he claimed playing football at a college prep ROTC was the same as an injury in combat!
Watch what Duckworth says to Mr. Castillo, who has made millions from his "disabled veteran status," while real disabled veterans live under viaducts and in alleys because of what they saw or did in the defense of this nation.
Give her four minutes to set this guy up before belittling him in front of a congressional hearing. And the speaker of the meeting let her talk longer than allotted regular time.

The government should seize this guys business and prosecute him.

Actually Sarge, they can refer this to the Justice Department for fraudulent application for government contract. I'm sure they can fine him and revoke his contract status as well as inhibit his ability to apply for any future government contracts.

Ol Sarg says anybody who lies to gain political and monetary advantage should be fired and prosecuted.

jamitjim73 Loc: Franklin,Tn.

I totally agree, but do you honestly think eric holder would actually prosecute a criminal? Also, what a classy lady.

The government probably put him IN business. We all know that nobody did anything on their own. The government helped all of us. Thank you government. Now leave me alone.

So many of these parasites taking advantage of Americans through our so corrupt Government.The President we have now is part of that problem. That is why big Government Does not work.

Indiana Loc: Huntington, Indiana

One can only hope that VA will reopen his case and evaluate it based on this testimony. People like this need to be prosecuted rather than be rewarded. I served like many others (USN 61-65.)

Wink44 Loc: Montgomery AL

What a scumbag! Would love to see this prick go to prison- he is a disgrace. USAF 67-91

nafplyr Loc: Chicago

This dirt bag should have to do penance working in a combat surgical wing cleaning up after our brave guys who need it.
Sadly this jerk is not the only one gaming the system,while we have some deserving older vets who will not apply because it slows down the system for our boys who need it now.

Penny MG Loc: Fresno, Texas

Wow! Thank you Dennis for that eye-opener! It is disgusting how some truly abuse the system. Castillo is a scumbag and it sure was good to see Duckworth call him out on it. Kudos to her! :thumbup:

Penny MG Loc: Fresno, Texas

Yea! Ole sarg, we finally agree on something and you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! :thumbup:
