An ancestor of mine was a Civil War vet who was captured and imprisoned in Andersonville. He escaped, made it home, and for two decades was denied benefits. He was killed in a hunting accident. His wife carried on fighting, and, after years, was finally awarded his pension. Bottom line, the theme of the U.S. abandoning its vets is as old as the country itself.
Don't forget how the Continental Dollar (Which the Continental Army was exclusively paid with) was virtually worthless after the Revolutionary war because it had nothing backing it up. Granted, they did exchange them for bonds worth something, but nowhere near the small fortune ($29 per month at the time, with a rough equivalent of $50,000 today) each soldier who enlisted was promised
Im a vet. The benefits are amazing. And the VA improved dramatically after the legislation John McCain and Bernie Sanders authored and Obama signed. Along with the efforts of then-Secretary Shulkin, who was fired by Trump in a manufactured scandal because he resisted privitization efforts. The VA will likely go down hill again but right now we're living in a golden age for vet benefits. Vet homelessness was down 50% in the decade before Covid. Do us a favor and dont just parrot stuff you hear on tv because it sounds patriotic to complain. Truth is more nuanced and difficult but it is better for everyone in the long term and the actual patriotic thing.
I miss the old openings, which were about the person discovering the murdered body rather than the person murdered. Had more or a sense of NYC as a community.

By "serve your country" you mean invade others based on some white guy lying Most veterans are low iq individuals that were picked up because that had low GPAs

As a CCW permit holder. The way I was briefed, that would be a hard case to beat as the CCW permit holder. If stayed on scene, explained his reasoning, explained their prior history (aka give the guy motive) charges would have never been on the table. Because he lied, and is now claiming Self Defense, you would realistically only have to prove his Motive and its open shut murder case. Without it it's a 33/33/34 (1 3rd murder/acquittal/hung) going to the jury.
My guess is he will say he panicked, ran, and have top Republican brass fill the docket to testify for him. He only needs one drug hater on the jury to hang it. But his running and lying would certainly make me suspicious on the jury and I would push like hell for the others not to ignore those facts

It’s sad about how he was treated, and especially, due to the fact that he got ptsd from guard duty at a prison that was notorious for torture and extrajudicial killings. To find out about the prison look it up, I can see why, he had mental problems.
Just walk into the VA Hospital in the West Roxbury section of Boston. There is nobody in there, nothing going on, no patience, no hustle and bustle, no services. Yet all these cars are parked out in the parking lot.
Life is full of the lovely things like the morning sun, the gleaming dew drops, the sparkling rain, the vast blue sky, the whistles of chirping birds, the beauty of the sea. Hope you're doing great and in good health
Actually I think it's really good writing. This is being said by the sister who was only somewhat familiar with her brother's service, and a lot of people use "army" as a catch all or substitute for "military", so her calling his VA benefits "army benefits" helps to portray her lack of familiarity.
My husband got sent to japan where his lungs couldn't handle the country. He gets discharged at 18 . month service. No eligible for practucally any benefits. They wont cover his ptsd, his sleep apnea yet they claim every year they provide him with medical care. He hasnt had medical insurance in 3 years.
Yes for an average person. Because NY was a "may issue" state, basically only rich people or people with political connections ever got approved to carry a gun. That's one reason why they're permitting laws were recently struck down by the supreme Court, they were effectively discriminatory. Under examination it was shown that basically no permits were issues to anybody under the poverty line, while people in the top 20% of incomes represented a majority of permit holders. Whether you agree with the rights under the second amendment or not, I don't think anybody feels that a person's rights should be determined by their social status
@@KappaKiller108 Or their political affiliation. I'm sure anybody applying for a gun permit in New York City or New York State, they investigated as to how they registered to vote. If they have an "R" next to the name, they're denied.
"guard duty at Abu Ghraib" Dang that takes me back. And I imagine it's a reference that just flies over people's heads today, so for those of you born after the 2000s... Abu Ghraib wasn't a mess because of the combat or because of what they Afghans did. Abu Ghraib was a mess because of what the PRISON GUARDS did. Photographs were leaked of American guards whipping Afghani prisoners and walking them on leashes, electroshocking the prisoners. Just casual cruelty. It was a huge scandal at the time.
The professor in the story seems to be loosely based on John Yoo, a lawyer in the Bush administration who wrote legal justifications for "enhanced interrogation" (i.e. torture). He is currently a college professor.
@@aj8124 The victim was killed by a guy with goverment ties. The D.A. tries to hold the government accountable. But the Feds shut him down so the killer walked
@@GroundScarecrow he was discharged from the military for a pre existing condition and because of that the VA won't give him benefits, so he trys to open a case with a lawyer at the collage he was staying at claiming that he owed him. The Reason the lawyer "owed" him was because he was apart of the legal council during the Bush administration turns out he's responsible for basically creating the book on how U.S. soldiers can torture the enemy for info and not get into legal trouble. The former soldier during his service was tasked with guarding the prison in which the torture was taking place and it caused him to get severe PTSD. And he wanted his benefits but it led to a confrontation and the lawyer kills the veteran. The lawyer claims self defense and is taken to trail were It turns into a legal fiasco because McCoy tries to get literally almost of the Bush's cabinet to come to court but fails in the end after the legal team goes through all the hoops the Lawyer gets off scot free because just as a verdict was to be reached it becomes a federal matter and he leaves knowing nothing will come of it.
The guy probably had or thought he had more to lose if past history was brought out into contemporary culture. He had possibly a lot to lose (in his view). Otherwise, he should have called the police and not make them track him down. Of course there might be other things that the clip would not show to motivate his actions.
Between that and lying to the police the good professor is already facing several felony charges. New York you have a duty to retreat in public spaces. Also the lack of so much as a scratch on the professor kind of blows the whole self defense thing out of the water, unless its one of those retarded stand your ground states you can't just start blasting because your scared, well unless your a cop.
@ Channel Owner / @Law & Order, Just a heads up, Your Description has a small Typo... This was not Season 20, Episode 20, It was Season 20 but it was Episode#1
I mean. Still bring it to trial. A jury would side with a young, basically orphaned vet trying to take care of his sister over a lawyer who okayed torture.
I find it hard to understand why anyone willingly sign up to join the military. You go through brutal training, put yourself in life threatening danger and even if you survive you might end up being physically and mental broken for the rest of your life. And what kind of reward do you get? Next to nothing. You get home only to be abandoned like a broken toy. I understand that these people love their country but I find it hard to understand why they do that when their country obviously doesn’t love them back. The military treats its soldiers like tools to be used and then discarded when they become a liability.
Not everyone that joins goes through the same things. Some join for long term goals. Job training, college, etc….Not everyone who serves is in combat or shoots a gun.
Because like 90% of the military is support where you can do things from airplane mechanic to electronics on a submarine. It's an easy and cheap way to not only get valuable skills for after your service but also get help to go to college. Like that other guy said, it's not just join and kill and in fact, that's an incredibly small portion of the military.
Most of the time it's poor kids who need financial aid. It's actually kind of despicable how the us army markets themselves to lower class kids. They have no other choice so they have to serve the country that failed them in the first place.
My Grandad fought in the Second World War I’m proud to call him my grandad he never spoke about what happened and I didn’t have it in me to ask No vet should be treated like this they deserve the upmost respect and courtesy etc

How many seppos know someone who was in the military compared to any other developed nation. I have known 1 active member, she was a mechanic. Every vet I've known was from Vietnam or ww2.
I started a new shift. Ten a. m. to 6 p. m. Tony Antonio Montana is free from jail. I interviewed him in a Burger King. And he went to attack Nick Nolte and said to him talk to your sister you know. I then headed back into Gondar in Ethiopia.
One of these days I just want somebody in one of these shows to say “are you serious? You’re making quips about a dead body? This is a person. And this is your job. Act like friggin’ professionals.” And then they get real awkward and are silent until it transitions to the next scene😂
Even if I was able to join the army, marines, air force etc. I still would never do it as the downsides of being part of it greatly outweighs the positives. PTSD, homelessness, loss of body parts or even life is terrible and this country doesn't care and just wants the next person to go out and die to protect it. It sucks
Life is full of the lovely things like the morning sun, the gleaming dew drops, the sparkling rain, the vast blue sky, the whistles of chirping birds, the beauty of the sea. Hope you're doing great and in good health?

Recall a line from A Few Good Men, considering the law professor with his DOJ credentials: You don't get to that position without learning how to sidestep a few land mines...
Joubull is here but no decteive work 😏
Dealing drugs and selling weed is honestly and obviously 2 different things
does anyone know where i can watch full episodes if im from the uk? i dont wanna set up a vpn and pay for a us service just to get them ngl
what's wrong with Law& Order UK?? I love those horsehair wigs, and how they call each other "my learned colleague".
How does this ep end
How many seppos know someone who was in the military compared to any other developed nation.
I have known 1 active member, she was a mechanic. Every vet I've known was from Vietnam or ww2.
Didn't she 1st say her brother was in the Marines and then she said he had trouble getting his Army benefits? Which is it?
It’s actually season 20 episode 1 not 20
The dentist was a law professor one time?
This isn't episode 20 this is episode 1...
Yeah if he was a Marine he'd have all kinds of trouble getting Army benefits.
I caught that as well.
8:58 - that guy played defense lawyer so many times on L&O.
why isn’t this episode on Hulu
Was this season 20 episode 1?
What Marine gets Army benefits? None because there’s no such thing as a Marine getting Army benefits.
0:16
Well that was stupid. OBVIOUSLY they're having a SERIOUS conversation; so Don't but I
I started a new shift. Ten a. m. to 6 p. m. Tony Antonio Montana is free from jail. I interviewed him in a Burger King. And he went to attack Nick Nolte and said to him talk to your sister you know. I then headed back into Gondar in Ethiopia.
It's actually episode 1 from season 20.
He was a marine but she said he had a problem getting army benefits. How did no one catch that??
Season 20, Episode 1, Memo From the Dark Side
Don’t Mess With The Vets! 😠
A lot of people don't come back the same, or at all.
You never completely return.
FYI... It's Season 20 Episode 09 not Episode 20
Season 20 episode 01
Season 20 Episode 1 not 20
One of these days I just want somebody in one of these shows to say “are you serious? You’re making quips about a dead body? This is a person. And this is your job. Act like friggin’ professionals.” And then they get real awkward and are silent until it transitions to the next scene😂
Even if I was able to join the army, marines, air force etc. I still would never do it as the downsides of being part of it greatly outweighs the positives. PTSD, homelessness, loss of body parts or even life is terrible and this country doesn't care and just wants the next person to go out and die to protect it. It sucks
People keep dying for senseless wars. I would never want my kids to be in the army, coming home with ptsd, a arm leg or both missing no thanks
It's all a scam.
You think law professor would know to not talk to the police.
I love spinning, BUT I think I would forego attending if the cops were in my place.
Life is full of the lovely things like the morning sun, the gleaming dew drops, the sparkling rain, the vast blue sky, the
whistles of chirping birds, the beauty of the
sea. Hope you're doing great and in good health?
Attorney departement of justice are different
Sometimes I give good Venterns & Homeless money or food? 0:43
Your countries like the one I live and we treat our ex soldiers the same way with disrespect and they serve and protect us
Veteran
Ah ah nka mo loma 🙄
Как называется сериал? Спасибо
Title of video
Law and order
Why I don't trust the justice system, especially against the overprivileged
You may however apply it, well...
In a none relevant point, this here is just the tip, Veterans go through the worse treatment by the government, “we support our troops “ my A$$
Let this be a lesson never join the military.
Как называется?
Title of video
Quality control horrible. This is season 20 episode 1, not episode 20. The title is correct is correct though.
