    The Washington Post released another article on VA disability, and this time they crossed a line I never thought I'd see in modern journalism.

    In this video, I break down the latest WaPo piece that not only attacks VA claims consultants and educators, but includes disturbing details about Combat Craig's death that have nothing to do with journalism and everything to do with character assassination of someone who can no longer defend himself.

    • VA disability fraud is a fraction of a percent compared to other government programs
    • The increase in 100% ratings correlates directly with post-9/11 veterans reaching the age where combat injuries become disabilities
    • Combat Craig and other educators have literally saved veterans' lives by providing free information
    • The real waste? Trillions in defense contractor spending - but they won't investigate that

    → The Guardian's Response: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/04/washington-post-report-veterans-benefits → Official VA Compensation Data: https://www.benefits.va.gov/REPORTS/abr/docs/2024-compensation.pdf

    When a major publication targets the most vulnerable population - disabled veterans who literally can't fight back - while ignoring massive defense contractor waste and VA bureaucratic failures, we need to ask: what's the real agenda?

    This isn't about protecting taxpayers. It's about controlling the narrative and keeping veterans in a reactive state instead of empowered and organized.
