    What a shithole website.

    Silver lining, Carlos Hathcock, the sniper in Vietnam, eventually ran out of luck while riding on top of an APC, it hit a mine and was engulfed in flames. He earned severe third degree burns over large parts of his body, which kept him in constant pain for the rest of his life.

    It gets better, [emphasis mine]

    In 1975, Hathcock’s health began to deteriorate, and he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He stayed in the Marine Corps, but his health continued to decline. Just 55 days short of the 20 years that would have made him eligible for regular retirement pay, he received a permanent disability separation. Being medically discharged, he received 100 percent disability pay.[31] He would have received only 50 percent of his final pay grade had he retired after 20 years. He fell into a state of depression when he was forced out of the Marines because he felt as if the service had kicked him out. During this depression, his wife Jo nearly left him but decided to stay

    smedly-exhausted “Hey, thanks for your lifetime of service, sacrifice, and dedication to the USMC, we’re going to force you out TWO MONTHS shy of 20 years service. Get fucked”
