Year No. 2 Edition No. 22 

Coping with cancer 

Josh Santos wants to share his story to help others recognize warning signs 

By ANGEL McCURDY 

Florida Freedom Newspapers 

FORT WALTON BEACH 

— Just six months ago, 

Josh Santos was living his 

life with no regrets and no 

thoughts on the future. Now, the 

23-year-old cannot stop thinking 

about life’s what ifs. 

The Air Force reservist was 

diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer 

six months after he returned 

last August from a six-month 

deployment to Afghanistan. Now, 

he’s fighting for his life and the 

lives of other young people facing 

similar struggles. 

“It changes your life,” Santos 

said. “There’s no way I’ll ever be 

the same. How do you go back 

when you’ve been through this 

fight You don’t. You just find new 

purpose.” 

The brown haired, brown-eyed 

man doesn’t look like he’s fighting 

for his life. He sat back in the 

Santa Rosa Mall food court one 

recent afternoon wearing a T- 

shirt and board shorts. 

The only difference between 

Santos and the patrons walking 

past him is the thoughts in his 

head. 

“This affects you more than 

you think,” he said. “Life’s so different 

now. Now, I’m just trying to 

stay chipper and stay awesome 

for everyone around me.” 

Special to the Daily News 

Josh Santos works out with gym rings recently. He says he is trying to 

keep a positive attitude as he fights his colon cancer. 

The disease 

The Duke Field pilot began to 

show symptoms of the cancer during 

his deployment. But because 

the signs were minimal, the thought 

of cancer never crossed his mind. 

“He thought he was OK,” said 

Lisa Santos, Santos’ mother. “It 

happened again a few months after 

he came home from deployment, 

but it wasn’t severe until February, 

and that’s when we started bugging 

him to go to the doctor.” 

With every doctor’s visit, Santos 

struggled to get anyone to look 

further into his cause. He was working 

out daily and said that aside 

from his symptoms he’d never felt 

healthier. 

After each appointment he left 

with a new medicine to try and a 

new idea as to what was causing his 

pain and bleeding. 

“That whole time I was still 

working, not thinking about cancer 

or life, but then in February the pain 

didn’t go away,” he said. “I had to 

beg for them to look more closely 

at me.” 

The doctors again misdiagnosed 

Santos’ symptoms in February 

and sent him home. When the pain 

came again just two weeks later, the 

doctors decided to do more tests. 

“I remember they sat me down 

and started out saying, ‘Well, we’ve 

got some bad news’,” Santos said. 

“Finally, they came out and told me 

it was cancer.” 

Santos was set up with an appointment 

to remove the tumor 

that had developed in his colon, but 

on the day of his surgery another 

evaluation was done with more bad 

news: His cancer had spread. 

“They told me I had two options. 

I could get the tumor cut out, but 

I would have to recover before I 

could start chemo, so that would 

be four to six weeks, which they 

said they weren’t sure I would live 

through, or I could start chemo and, 

hopefully, the tumor will shrink,” he 

said. 

“I was in so much pain that I was 

ready for Option 1. You don’t feel

treatments. Santos, 23, 

was diagnosed with colon cancer 

earlier this year. 

cancer, you feel the tumor. But the 

best option was the chemo, so that’s 

where I’m at.” 

Santos completed his second 

dose of chemotherapy last week 

and is scheduled for six more 

treatments. 

“I’ve done the research. I know 

what I’m dealing with and what’s 

going on in my body. I think anyone 

who’s going through this should do 

the same,” Santos said. “I want to 

fight. I’m 23. I have a lot of life left 

to live.” 

The changes 

For as long as he can remember, 

Santos has wanted to follow 

in his parents’ footsteps and 

serve his country. While other 

children dreamed of being teachers 

or doctors, Santos’ goal was 

to fly. 

Santos was a member of a C-130 

air crew in Afghanistan. But since 

his diagnosis, Santos fears his life 

in the Air Force will never be the

Special Forces Soldiers graduate qualification training 

By Dave Chace 

SWCS Public Affairs Office 

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - The 

U.S. Army Special Forces 

regiment welcomed more 

than 120 men into its brotherhood 

during a Special 

Forces Qualification Course 

graduation ceremony May 

17 in Fayetteville, N.C. 

The ceremony, where 

the newest Special Forces 

Soldiers wore their green 

berets and the Special 

Forces tab for the first time, 

marked the completion of 

at least one full year of specialized, 

individual training 

at Fort Bragg, N.C. with the 

U.S. Army John F. Kennedy 

Special Warfare Center and 

School. 

“The long, storied tradition 

of the legendary green 

berets began with just a 

few individuals who sought 

to strive for a higher standard 

of excellence in the 

profession of arms,” said 

Maj. Gen. Patrick M. Higgins, 

the ceremony’s guest 

speaker, to the graduates 

during the ceremony. “Now 

it’s your turn.” 

Higgins is the director of 

the Joint Integrated Air and 

Missile Defense Organization, 

part of the joint staff 

in Washington, D.C. His 

first assignment as a Special 

Forces officer was as a 

detachment commander in 

3rd Battalion, 5th Special 

Forces Group (Airborne) in 

1986, when the group was 

assigned to Fort Bragg. 

Since that time, Higgins 

has gone on to command 

2nd Battalion, 5th SFG(A) 

at Fort Campbell, Ky., the 

3rd SFG(A) at Fort Bragg 

and the U.S. Special Operations 

Command-Africa, 

headquartered in Stuttgart, 

Germany. 

“Only through carefully, 

arduously and ruthlessly 

building the strength of 

the individual Soldier will 

we preserve the strength 

of the regiment,” Higgins 

The ceremony, where the newest Special Forces 

Soldiers wore their green berets and the Special 

Forces tab for the first time, marked the 

completion of at least one full year of specialized, 

individual training at Fort Bragg, N.C. with the 

U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare 

Center and School. 

said, acknowledging the 

graduates’ countless hours 

in training. 

Only Soldiers who have 

successfully completed the 

three-week Special Forces 

Assessment and Selection 

program are qualified to 

begin the Special Forces 

Qualification Course. Once 

enrolled in the course, 

SFQC students must complete 

five phases: orientation 

and history; language 

and culture; small-unit tactics; 

specialty training; and 

a final culmination exercise 

known as Robin Sage. 

Each student is assigned 

an occupational specialty 

within the Special Forces 

branch and attends specific 

training to become a Special 

Forces officer, weapons 

sergeant, engineer, 

medic or communications 

specialist. 

“Your training has only 

just begun,” Higgins said to 

the graduates. “Your country 

demands the most from 

you. The regiment expects 

that no matter the task, no 

matter the environment, 

no matter the difficulty, you 

will always accomplish the 

mission.” 

During the ceremony, 

SWCS recognized a 2010 

SFQC graduate for heroic 

actions taken while attending 

the course. 

Capt. Chad Lewis, now 

a detachment commander 

with the 5th SFG(A), was 

awarded the Soldier’s Medal 

for providing emergency 

response support to a civilian 

plane crash. 

On July 12, 2010, Lewis 

witnessed a single-engine 

aircraft’s catastrophic 

crash at Horace Williams 

Airport in Chapel Hill, N.C. 

After the plane came to a 

halt, Lewis scaled a perimeter 

fence and ran more 

than 600 yards to the crash 

site to provide aid to the 

survivors. He found that 

the pilot was killed on impact 

but that the co-pilot 

was partially ejected from 

the wreckage and had suffered 

double below-theknee 

amputations. Lewis 

saved the co-pilot’s life by 

applying improvised tourniquets 

to his legs and remaining 

with him while he 

was medically evacuated to 

a nearby hospital. 

The Soldier’s Medal is 

awarded to any member of 

the United States armed 

forces or of a friendly foreign 

nation who, while 

serving in any capacity with 

the U.S. Army at the time 

of the heroic act, distinguished 

himself or herself 

by heroism not involving 

actual conflict with an enemy. 

The same degree of 

heroism is required as that 

of the award of the Distinguished 

Flying Cross, and 

performance must involve 

personal hazard or danger 

and the voluntary risk of 

life under conditions not 

involving conflict with an 

armed enemy. 

Like Lewis and all SFQC 

graduates before them, the 

members of this graduat-

ing class will soon report to their first operational Special 

Forces assignment with one of the Army’s five activeduty 

or two National Guard Special Forces groups. In 

these assignments, the will work with host nations, 

regional partners and indigenous populations to shape 

the foreign political and military environments in order 

to prevent war. 

“We live in a time of great consequence and change,” 

Higgins said. “Committed around the globe, the military 

continues to fight while simultaneously disengaging and 

reducing force structure. There has never been more of 

a demand for Special Forces.” 

“Whether it’s destroying terrorist networks, stabilizing 

lawless regions or conducting humanitarian relief 

operations, rest assured you are trained and ready, and I 

have no doubt you will continue to bring honor and glory 

to our regiment,” he said to the graduates. “To navigate 

through the uncertain conflicts of tomorrow, we must be 

able to defer, deter and defeat aggression, not only by 

ourselves, but by, with and through our allies and partner 

nations.” 

“America’s Army is the best-manned, best-trained, 

best-equipped, best-led and most decisive land force in 

the world,” Higgins said. “And the very best in the U.S. 

Army is its Special Forces.”

same. 

“I don’t think I’ll ever fly 

again,” Santos said. “This is 

who I wanted to be. It’s what 

I wanted to do, but I don’t 

know if it will happen.” 

For now, he continues to 

live his life as best he can 

while undergoing chemotherapy 

and dealing with the 

pain of his tumor. He said 

the hardest part is coping 

with his new reality. 

“I’m reading a lot of 

books like Lance Armstrong’s 

book that talks a lot 

about how he handled the 

emotional part of all of this, 

because that’s been tougher 

than the physical part,” he 

said. 

Santos said he has started 

going back to church and 

talking with spiritual leaders, 

but not about his cancer. 

He said he chooses to focus 

on his relationships and how 

he can be a support system 

for his friends and family. 

“There are kids younger 

than me dealing with it, 

so I know I can,” he said. 

“If you look at somebody 

in their 40s with cancer 

they’re fighting to live; the 

kids, they’re fighting to play 

the next day and have fun. 

That’s the way I want to look 

at it.” 

The biggest change for 

Santos has been day-to-day 

activities. Rather than going 

to work at Duke Field or at 

Crossfit, where he was a fitness 

coach, he’s working on 

staying positive. 

“You wake up different 

because it constantly fills 

your mind,” Santos said. “I 

didn’t think a thing about it 

before, but once it happens 

to you it’s a different story. 

“Six months ago I was invincible 

and now I’m sitting 

in a room every two weeks 

WANT TO ATTEND 

Josh’s Journey against Colon Cancer will be from 2 to 

6 p.m. June 9 at the Rib Shack, 2495 S. State Road 87 in 

Navarre. 

For tickets, call 850-362-6262 or 850-362-6262. Tickets 

can be purchased at LuLu’s Uniforms in Santa Rosa Mall, the 

Rib Shack or Carolina Cigars in downtown Fort Walton Beach. 

while poison is being pushed 

into my body.” 

The new life 

Now, Santos said he has 

decided to focus on something 

other than his struggle 

with cancer. He said he 

wants to be an advocate for 

young people who may be 

ignoring the warning signs. 

He wants everyone to 

understand it could happen 

to them. 

“We had no family history 

of this. Josh is in good 

shape, he’s active and 

strong,” his mother Lisa 

said. “You would never know 

he has cancer. But we know 

he’s not alone.” 

Lisa will host a benefit for 

her son that also will serve 

as a way for Josh to share 

his story. The event will be 

from 2 to 6 p.m. June 9 at the 

Rib Shack in Navarre. 

“If this has taught us anything, 

it’s that young people 

need to be their own advocate,” 

she said. “These kids 

need to know what’s happening 

in their own bodies. I’m 

just sick thinking about what 

Josh is going through.” 

Santos said he wants 

to ensure that other young 

people push for tests and 

proper diagnosis. 

“Maybe if I would have 

taken the early signs more 

seriously I wouldn’t be dealing 

with Stage 4 cancer,” 

he said. “I’m lucky because 

I’m young and I can fight 

this. But everyone needs to 

know that this can happen to 

them.” 

Santos said he hopes to 

speak at the benefit on the 

reality of his cancer and 

the treatment he is going 

through. 

“There’s no way for 

anyone to understand this 

unless they go through it, but 

I can try and make it as real 

as possible,” he said. “Life 

will never be the same when 

you’re faced with something 

you have no control over. It 

makes you think.”

Army team climbing Mount McKinley 

By Staff Sgt. 

Matthew E. Winstead 

U.S. Army Alaska Public Affairs 

KAHILTNA GLACIER 

BASE CAMP, Alaska 

— Crowning a vast glacier 

and surrounded by other 

peaks of impressive magnitude 

rises Mount McKinley, 

also known as Denali (a 

Koyukon Athabaskan word 

meaning “The High One”). 

It stands as the tallest

courses in extreme cold

The NWTC team was 

shuttled in courtesy of two 

UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter 

crews from A Company, 

1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation 

Brigade, 16th Combat Aviation 

Brigade. 

Even though this is a 

mission the U.S. Army 

hasn’t attempted since before 

the events of 9-11, the 

climbers are no strangers 

to mountaineering. 

The NWTC instructors 

specialize in maneuvering 

on treacherous terrain in 

arctic conditions and say 

they’re ready for anything 

the mountain has to throw 

at them. 

The team consists of five 

active-duty Soldiers and 

one Army civilian, each fully 

equipped with a tailored 

packing list of sustainment 

supplies and climbing gear. 

“We’ve made sure to 

plan for everything from

elevation around 17,000 feet 

above ground level. Bodily 

functions begin to operate 

abnormally due to several 

factors, chiefly the lessened 

air pressure and reduced 

concentration of oxygen at 

the higher elevations, Mc- 

Donald explained. 

Some of the signs of altitude 

sickness can include 

altered mental states, a 

reduced ability to absorb 

nutrients, vertigo and decreased 

awareness along 

with a general feeling of being 

unwell, McDonald said. 

With so many risk factors, 

this is no small mission 

for the members of 

NWTC. 

They have planned 

meticulously for months to 

make everything happen 

safely and for some members 

of the team it is the opportunity 

of a life time. 

“I’ve wanted to climb 

this thing for the last four 

years,” Sgt. Jacob Collins, 

an NWTC instructor said. 

“I attended the mountaineering 

course back in 2007 

as a (private first class) and 

I sorta fell in love with it. 

Ever since then, this mountain 

has been on my to-do 

list.” 

In addition to meeting 

the personal goals of some 

of the team members, the 

climb is providing the consummate 

professionals of 

NWTC the perfect opportunity 

to hone their skills as 

they deal with conditions 

and travel methods most 

amateur climbers wouldn’t 

consider. 

“Most of our early movements 

at the lower elevations 

will be done at night,” 

Staff Sgt. Brian Bailey said. 

“Nighttime provides us 

more protection from the 

heat and solar radiation reflected 

off the snow and ice 

and it also hardens the soft 

spots, allowing us to cross 

over them with less risk 

of falling through and into 

a crevasse. There’ll also 

be less traffic from other 

climbers to deal with, as 

the other climbers tend to 

travel during the day.” 

Mount McKinley currently 

has an estimated 200 

additional climbers on it at 

various levels, according to 

Denali National Park Service 

officials. 

Steven Decker, a training 

specialist with NWTC 

and the team member with 

the longest tenure at the 

NWTC described the climb 

as a culminating training 

event using every technique 

and method taught at 

the schoolhouse. 

“This is a capstone 

training event, similar to a 

unit going down to [The National 

Training Center] or 

[Joint Readiness Training 

Center] in the lower 48.” 

Decker said. “A climb of 

this magnitude refines critical 

skills helps establish a 

greater confidence in the 

methods we teach.” 

In addition to his current 

service as an Army civilian, 

Decker was previously 

assigned to NWTC as a 

Soldier. 

McDonald said training 

in such extreme conditions 

makes Soldiers more 

adaptable to any terrain 

and conditions. 

“What we do here makes 

us better as a fighting 

force,” he said. “Our Army 

might not always need to 

fight on terrain as harsh 

this, but having the ability 

and confident members 

who can make fighting on 

normal terrain that much 

easier.” 

McDonald pointed out 

the vivid similarities between 

areas of the Black 

Rapids Glacier, where 

NWTC is located, and the 

mountainous regions of 

northern Afghanistan. 

“There are photos of the 

mountains of Afghanistan 

that are completely indistinguishable 

from the landscape 

we have available 

here in Alaska,” he said. 

“The terrain matches, the 

vegetation matches. The 

comparison is uncanny. The 

training benefits of such areas 

are invaluable and need 

to be used more than they 

currently are.” 

In addition to summiting 

McKinley, the team has 

offered to assist in rescue 

missions conducted by 

the Denali National Park 

Service in their immediate 

area during the climb. 

“While making it to the 

summit is a goal, it’s not the 

only goal we have in climbing 

the mountain,” McDonald 

said. “The park service 

has agreed to contact us in 

the event they receive word 

of a needed rescue in our 

immediate area, if that happens 

we’ll render any assistance 

that we can. While 

that may render our attempt 

to summit the mountain 

unsuccessful, we will 

do whatever we can to help 

out in those situations.” 

The climbing team is 

currently making its way up 

Denali and rest at several 

camps along the way. 

At the 17,000-ft. camp,

the most strenuous and

“Just because you make

Memorial Day 

scams target military 

families, supporters 

By Lt. Col. 

Jereme Barrett 

96th Security Forces 

Squadron commander 

Memorial Day is a time 

to honor those who serve 

and remember those 

who gave the ultimate 

sacrifice. It has also become 

a key opportunity 

for scammers to target 

those who are serving or 

have served their nation, 

especially elderly veterans. 

The Better Business 

Bureau urges consumers 

and donors to be on 

the lookout for deals 

that seem too good to be 

true, and for disreputable 

charities. 

Among the scams to 

watch out for: 

• People posing as 

Veterans Administration 

representatives who 

contact veterans to say 

they need to update their 

credit card, bank or other 

financial records with the 

Veterans Administration; 

• Businesses that 

charge service members 

for services they could get 

for free or less expensive 

elsewhere, such as access 

to military records; 

• Fraudulent investment 

schemes that convince 

veterans to transfer 

their assets into an irrevocable 

trust; 

• Businesses that offer 

“instant approval” military 

loans, with language 

like “no credit check” and 

“all ranks approved,” that 

can have high interest 

rates and hidden fees; 

• Businesses that 

advertise housing online 

commentary 

with military discounts 

and incentives, and then 

bilk service personnel out 

of the security deposit; 

• Businesses that try 

to sell things like security 

systems to spouses of 

deployed military personnel 

by saying the service 

member ordered it to protect 

his or her family; 

• People who sell 

stolen vehicles at low 

prices by claiming to be 

soldiers who need to sell 

fast because they’ve been 

deployed; 

• People who pose 

as government contractors 

recruiting veterans 

and ask for a copy of the 

job applicants passport 

(which contains a lot of 

personal information); 

• People on online 

dating services who 

portray themselves as 

lonely service members 

in a remote part of Iraq 

or Afghanistan, and then 

ask for money to be wired 

to a third party for some 

emergency. 

The BBB advises service 

members, veterans 

and all consumers never 

to give personal identification 

information (Social 

Security, bank account, 

military identification or 

credit card numbers, etc.) 

to anyone who contacts 

you by phone or e-mail, 

and to be wary of any 

solicitations that involve 

purchasing something 

or transferring money.

businesses and charities

Will Supreme Court review how states treat vets’ disability pay 

A disabled veteran has 

asked the U.S. Supreme 

Court to consider anew 

whether states violate federal 

law when they allow 

divorce courts to count a 

veteran’s disability compensation 

in calculating 

spousal support. 

The petition also invites 

the justices to consider 

an issue that states 

are more sharply divided 

over: whether federal law 

bars state courts from 

considering VA disability 

benefits communal 

property to be divided in 

divorce like other marital 

assets. 

In dissolving the near 

20-year marriage of Peter 

James Barclay, an Air 

Force veteran, and his 

wife Claudia Kay, an Oregon 

district court judge in 

2010 considered the value 

of Peter’s VA disability 

payments in awarding 

spousal pay of $1,000 a 

month. His only income 

is VA benefits and Social 

Security Disability Insurance, 

a tax-free total of 

just over $4,400 a month. 

Barclay, 42, suffers 

from post-traumatic 

stress from his role as 

a Tinker Air Force Base 

first-responder to the 1995 

bombing of the federal 

building in Oklahoma City. 

Barclay cleared debris 

and helped in recovery 

the dead and wounded. In 

time, PTSD made him unemployable 

and eligible to 

draw VA compensation at 

the 100-percent disabled 

rate. 

Barclay argued at trial 

that to include his disability 

pay in calculating 

spousal support would 

violate federal law. The 

court ignored that argument 

and the Court of Appeals 

of Oregon affirmed 

its decision. 

His Washington, D.C., 

attorney, Michael D.J. 

Eisenberg, petitioned 

the Supreme Court 

this month to consider 

whether Title 38 U.S. 

Code, Section 5301(a), 

which makes VA disability 

benefits immune “from 

taxation, claims of creditors, 

attachment, levy 

and seizure,” doesn’t also 

bar inclusion of disability 

pay, directly or indirectly, 

in spousal support 

calculations. 

“We have two good reasons 

to be heard before 

the court,” Eisenberg said 

in an interview. “One is 

the fact that the states are 

ignoring federal law. And 

Tom 

Philpott 

two, states 

are split on 

how they 

are executing 

federal 

law.” 

The 

petition 

concedes 

that most 

states have 

adopted 

the approach used in Oregon 

that disability pay can 

be used toward alimony. 

This is based on the Supreme 

Court’s 1987 Rose 

decision, which said the 

legislative history of VA 

disability benefits shows 

that these payments are 

intended to compensate 

both the veteran “and his 

family.” 

Eisenberg disagrees. 

Disability pay, he said, is 

to compensate the veteran 

for loss of income due 

to a service-connected 

medical condition. If the 

veteran has a spouse, VA 

compensation tables set 

payments higher. But that 

extra amount, in recognition 

of the sacrifice the 

spouse makes in living 

with a disabled vet, stops 

if veteran gets divorced. 

That means the spouse 

has no direct claim on the 

compensation. 

“It’s not like the veteran’s 

disability caused the 

spouse a military-related 

disability,” Eisenberg 

said. 

If a former spouse has 

no disability, she “has an 

advantage over the veteran” 

that the Oregon court 

should have considered 

and not try, using VA compensation, 

to “even the 

playing field.” Doing that 

gives the former spouse 

an advantage over the 

veteran, he said. 

Barclay’s former 

spouse claims to have 

disabilities of her own. 

But Eisenberg said relief 

should come from a state 

or federal assistance program 

such as Social Security 

Disability Insurance, 

not the veteran’s benefits. 

Eisenberg acknowledged 

that a Supreme 

Court ruling in favor of 

Barclay would not be a 

happy result for many former 

spouses of veterans. 

“But let us not forget 

these VA benefits are to 

make persons whole for 

loss of either physical or 

mental disability incurred 

while they are serving 

their country. The spouse

is deemed to have no 

disabilities, certainly no 

disabilities from military 

service … There’s nothing 

in the record to reflect 

she can’t go out and get 

a job.” 

Barclay and his former 

spouse are in their early 

40s. He is a veteran but 

not a military retiree. She 

worked at home throughout 

their marriage, raising 

children who are now 

grown. 

The 1982 Uniformed 

Services Former Spouses 

Protection Act (USFSPA) 

allows courts to distribute 

“disposable” military 

retired pay as marital 

property or as alimony 

or child support. But 

Barclay’s petition notes 

that the law also excludes 

disability compensation 

from the definition of “net 

disposable income” that 

can be divided under the 

USFSPA. 

The petition also points 

to the Supreme Court’s 

1989 Mansell decision 

in favor of a retiree who 

sought to reduce his spousal 

support when he won 

a disability award from 

the VA. When the retiree 

began drawing VA benefits, 

it lowered his military 

retirement being shared 

with the ex-spouse. 

Despite the harmful 

impact on former spouses, 

the court said it had to 

follow the “plain and precise 

meaning” of the USF- 

SPA. Justice Sandra Day 

O’Connor, now retired, 

dissented, writing that the 

majority was allowing VA 

disability compensation 

to warp the protections of 

the USFSPA.

point out that Congress 

hasn’t chosen to amend 

the USFSPA to address 

her concern. That means 

Congress still wants disability 

benefits protected 

from spousal support calculations, 

at least for military 

retirees, Eisenberg 

argued. 

Arizona recently 

passed a law shielding 

veterans’ disability 

benefits from alimony 

calculations. Barclay’s 

petition refers to two 

other states in which VA 

disability benefits paid in 

lieu of retirement (Texas) 

are not subject to division 

as property or to alimony 

calculations (Vermont.) 

Eisenberg agues it’s 

time the court addressed 

the states’ “various interpretations” 

and clarified 

the law in favor of his 

client and other disabled 

veterans. At least four justices 

would have to agree 

a review is merited.
