He was in the military cause he was getting VA checks. According to Fupa, he had bipolar since childhood or teenage years. He got onto streets cause Fupa and Marie messed up his medication for whatever reason, which made him spiral

That's the problem: the Chus aren't the most reliable source of information.
At least Chris Chan showed employee newsletter clippings of his dad & pics of his mom's retirement party. He had receipts to backup whatever he said.
Tophiachu has no receipts. There should have been at least 1 picture of Papachu in uniform.
Also, I don't recall showing her HS yearbook with her on Student Government &/or the Black Students Association.

They have been pretty consistent in talking about his VA stuff. When they were still in the apartment it was talked about frequently. He was getting meds from the VA and Tophia said “the VA was overmedicating him”.

I never served in the military but I heard that if you were in the military for the minimum 4 years, you can only get minimal VA benefits and then you're on your own (unless if you were injured in combat; then they get the full treatment). It's only those who serve for 20+ years who get the full benefits.
That's the thing. Tophia only talks about getting meds from the VA; but we have no clue how long was Donald in the military. How come she hasn't shared a picture of him in uniform? Did they say which branch did he served with?

He was in the army around the late 80’s early 90’s. Tophia said that he saw someone get squashed by a tank which caused him to be honorably discharged. Probably fucked him up mentally.

The only military action the US was involved in at the time of Donald's service was the Gulf War.

Should have clarified. The incident happened on a base.

Can a serviceman get full benefits if they were medically discharged?
u/Both-Structure-6786 • 1 month ago • score 1
I think if it’s from a service related injury. Which I think this incident will fall under.
The reason for his discharge is not clear tbh but him being in the army has been something consistent. I’m not entirely sure how the whole benefits thing works but time and time again it was stated he was getting meds from the VA. Maybe him seeing that incident caused his mental issues to manifest or amplified them?

Isn't there someone in the Reddit with a copy of Tophia's high school yearbook to confirm if she was indeed in student government & the Black Student Association?

Im convinced Toeshit messed with the meds to steal his money and to stuff the gut because around that time she was openly stealing on lives and ordering family meal deals for herself, and before that, he was yelling at her for stealing money and overeating, and he was calling her lazy lol

I believe so as well. She was live multiple times while papachu was asking her to put on deodorant, saying she sits on her ass all day and such stuff

Side note: I’ll never not find it funny that he named his other (presumably normal) daughter Sophia and the hell spawn he had with Marie Tophia 😂

According to Toph - Papachu was an all star high school Quarterback in the Carolinas (I call bullshit cause there's no way a 5'2" dude was an all state/all star qb). Afterwards either he joined the military, then college or the other way around. Either way, he was discharged early due to PTSD. Made his way to Texas to be a stock broker of some sort. Then went to live in Albuquerque for some reason.
