Army Ranger Chad Fleming, who lost his leg while serving in 75th Ranger Regiment, recently sat down for an interview with The Blaze and highlighted a special kind of stupid that he encountered when he visited a VA hospital.
Fleming says that a doctor at the VA actually made him get an X-ray to prove that he had no leg.
His response was both humorous and right on the money:
“[The doctor] actually laughed. And I told him, I said, ‘You wonder why the country is in such a deficit? It’s because you’re wasting money taking X-rays of a leg that doesn’t exist.’ It’s like, ‘Dude I’m not a starfish. It isn’t going to grow back.’”
Opening your eyes and using your brain tends to be useful, but it appears the VA missed the memo.
