Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

April 14, 2010

VA physicians have determined that Iraq veteran Chuck Luther is 80 percent disabled as a result of a mortar attack.

Prior to being discharged, however, Luther was tortured into signing a document permitting the military to deny him combat-related disability benefits.

After Luther requested medical aid, he was confined in an isolation room scarcely larger than a cot. Bright lights, loud heavy metal music, and constant profane abuse were used to enforce sleep deprivation. When Luther rebelled against this treatment, he was forcibly injected with an anti-psychotic drug.

All of this was done to force him to sign a document claiming that he suffered from ?personality disorder,? a pre-existing condition that would nullify his benefits. Luther was also told that he would have to repay $1,500 from his re-enlistment bonus or face wage garnishment.

While more than 20,000 other combat vets have been spuriously diagnosed with ?personality disorder,? Luther?s is the only known case in which the victim was tortured into signing away his benefits.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
