In reply to the discussion: Furious Duckworth Rips Scumbag Contractor A New One: Twisting Your Ankle Playing Football In Prep Sc [View all]sulphurdunn
(6,891 posts)29. I'm confused.
This gentleman's bio says he attend 3 universities and received degrees, also that he was accepted to West Point, but served in the Army as an enlisted man and suffered a service connected disability. But Rep. Duckworth claims he received his injury at someplace called West Point Military Prep Academy, which sounds like a high school for future West Pointers that I never heard of before. Is it a federally operated high school? Did the guy ever serve on active duty, or did attendance at the prep academy count as active duty service, and is that why spraining his ankle counts as a service related disability? I would find the latter to be disturbing.

What. A. Piece. Of. Scum. There should be law - grievous misrepresentation and gaming of the system.

Perhaps she could give him an Al Bundy award in recognition of his football contributions.
