I guess that's a matter of opinion.

 

Misha McLamb says she's not a loser. She's been homeless in Washington, D.C., but the last I could find of her she was in  government-funded transitional housing.

 

Misha is a Navy vet -- an aircraft specialist. She says she drank heavily while in the Navy. Doesn't that inspire you with confidence? How would you like to be one of the pilots flying a plane she worked on?

 

She continued to drink when she left the Navy. She lost her job, and spent nights in her car until she lent it to a "friend's boyfriend" who wrecked it. She moved to a homeless shelter where her insulin needles were stolen.

 

Poor judgment, poor decisions, and an alcohol addiction despite being diabetic. She had a good job in the Navy until she left to come home to care for her daughter -- which didn't last very long, because the daughter was taken away from her.  Misha says, "Some people just have bad circumstances with no resources. . . they owe me."

 

Misha and I disagree on what constitutes a loser.
