“Josh Hargis, of Cincinnati, was stationed in Afghanistan as part of the 3rd Army Ranger Battalion on Oct. 6 when a suicide bomber detonated her vest, according ABC’s Cincinnati affiliate WCPO. It took two hours to get him to the hospital at the military base, where he endured several surgeries.

“When soldiers surrounded Josh Hargis’s hospital bed to pin the Purple Heart to his blanket, they assumed he was unconscious… but, he raised his hand in salute. Although Josh Hargis has made considerable progress, [he and his wife] are about to embark on tough times financially with a new baby and prosthetic expenses to worry about.” [ABC News, 19FEB14]

WHAT?

Why is this severely wounded and handicapped veteran NOT on 100% disability and full medical care? Here is where we have irrefutable evidence that American priorities, morals, and awareness are failing. Someone at DoD needs to explain this before Congress and to the American people.
