I do not think that you realize how difficult it is for veterans to receive benefits from the VA. All the hoops they need to jump through only to be declined. I work with two vets. Yes in a full time job. One has serious issues with his knees that after 3 years is still trying to get benefits from those service related injuries. The other was medically discharged due to his body getting fucked up from multiple combat missions. The kicker? He was originally denied benefits for the exact same thing he was discharged for. These men and women signed up with the military and were 8 times out of 10 sent into some some sort of combat situation where they received some sort of physical damage or “saw some shit” that fucked them up mentally…you know nightmares, freaking out from sudden noises, etc. So how are these men and women “abusing the system” when it damn near takes an act of god to get these benefits? You seriously need to get your facts straight.
Fr. My cousins’ dad just got declared like 80% and it took forever. The only reason he did it was because his ex wife (cousins’ mom) insisted on him sticking with it. He’s able to hold down his job for now, but nobody expects him to make it to the end of the year before he has to retire
