A disabled vet sat at a bus stop, losing hope. Then his dad drove up.
When Rudolph Robinson pulled up to a bus stop on Route 1 in Northern Virginia, he started crying.
A year and a half has passed since that encounter. Since then, the younger Robinson has spent many of his days at a rehabilitation center, and the older Robinson has spent many of his applying his investigative skills to figuring out what happened to his son. But time also makes telling his story more urgent. The Robinsons said they have taken official steps to appeal the denial of benefits, but they were warned that process could take years, and they have already lost so many of those. Their hope is that officials might hear about their son’s situation and look into his case sooner.
As the younger Robinson tells it, his problems started shortly after he joined the Army. During training, he was given boots that were too tight and his feet started hurting. He then began falling behind on drills, and his fellow service members made it clear they wanted him gone. “At night, they would put a blanket over my head and beat on me,” he said.
