UPDATE: The entire nearly-3-minute interview with the woman is here.







This is a video from an Obama rally in LA yesterday. The second person interviewed is a woman claiming to be an American vet who served in Iraq. She says she was sitting by a tent, a tank hit the back of the tent and the falling tent cut her legs off. She's now missing one leg (possibly two, it's hard to tell in the video). She says the military isn't "paying her" because they're calling her loss of a leg "an accident."



Judging by the other horror stories we've now heard, this one sounds exactly the same - no disability payment if your horrible injury wasn't caused by some guy with a funny name. Hopefully some intrepid journalist, or Hill staffer, or Illinois Senator perhaps... can look this woman up and see if her story is for real, and if it is, get it fixed.
