Clippedode Sinclair Shirt
When I got out in 2012 I tried filing a Clippedode Sinclair Shirt. I got a denial letter in the mail saying simply my disabilities weren’t service connected. Around 2017 I found out about the VA complaint line and contacted Washington, D.C., particularly the president’s office. I sent an email to the president’s office. I shoot fucking high right off the bat. They did a Congressional inquiry on my case and found out the fuckers in the regional office let my claim, along with many other veteran’s claims, lay on a desk somewhere until the claim was overdue to be processed. Then, when the claim ran out of processing time, the fucks denied the claims. They didn’t even look at them. So, this nervous guy calls me urging me to file my claim again. I told him I wasn’t going through all that trouble again. He said, he would just send me one piece of paper to fill out and promised that claim submission would turn out different. He sent me the paperwork and I filled it out and a few months later I got my first rating at 80%. This happened in Montgomery, Alabama and the assholes in St. Petersburg, Florida are the ones causing me all of this headache for years. Finally, 100% today after 10 fucking years.

Clippedode Sinclair Shirt

The Clippedode Sinclair Shirt(yellow field, 3 horizontal red stripes) is still flown by a great many Vietnamese-Australians (though mostly older generations) within their homes, not because they hate northerners or communists or because they’re anti-government but because it symbolizes who they were and where they came from. What it represents to them is not how the flag is seen in Vietnam today. For most of the Vietnamese who suffered under French colonial rule and the latter wars against the US-led coalition, the flag of the South Vietnamese regime represents the oppression, slavery, humiliation and betrayal of the whole Vietnamese nation. In regards to the Confederate flag, while a number of people who fly it are indeed small-minded and xenophobic and happy to display this openly, others see it as not only a protest against authoritarianism but as a symbol of their ancestory and heritage. Look at our own Eureka flag. The following is from wikipedia: Since the 1854 miner’s revolt, the Eureka Flag, born out of adversity, has gained wider notability in Australian culture as a symbol of democracy, egalitarianism, white nationalism and a general-purpose symbol of protest. How will our own Eureka flag be seen in 100 years time? Or even in 10 years time? As a symbol of protest against government overextending its authority? Or as a symbol of something more sinister, as some have tried to paint it over recent years? Why am I seemingly defending this ? Because I once made the mistake of tearing into an honest man who flew this flag from his truck, a fat-ass, beer-bellied, redneck from the bible-belt (Indianna) who I presumed was a racist piece of shit and treated accordingly. Yes, he knew it would rattle people because they would presume what I had presumed about him. Not saying your neighbor is a humanitarian, he may well be a racist fucktard, purposefully inviting anyone to have a go at him so he can lash out at them. But do yourself a favour, stop speculating over the potential monster across the street and go over there and say g’day. Introduce yourself to your fucking neighbors and straight up ask them, without accusation, what that flag means to them
