    “3,600 messages from Mason in November 2021”

    30 days in November, so 120 messages A DAY. EVERY DAY.

    I’m married and I don’t talk to my wife that much.

      “Your daughter’s death is not service related”

      How the hell does this even go on, and not have someone arrested? That BTW is rhetorical

        In-service death tends to be an almost automatic grant of service connected death benefits, likely only burial in this case. DoD failed this person. That doesn’t mean that the VA will.

        Edit: I managed to read the article and still get the country wrong.

          “Larkhill camp in Wiltshire”, this is in the UK so DoD and VA don’t apply, but you can be forgiven for thinking that given similar ass-hattery in the US.

            Oh geez. I’m so used to reading sexual trauma records from the DoD that I just assume immediately. Sorry about that, my bad entirely.
