way to many veterans deal with this crap

This shit pisses me off on a whole new level.

too*

If the politicians want war, let them fight in the front lines. Not send young men disillusioned with promises and discarded after use. This is so disgusting.

The problem is when they said they'd cover health care for life they did not anticipate where health care costs would go. Yes, there are essential things that the Vets are entitled to. I am not saying otherwise on that. It is frustrating that before they leave they are told by their peers how to make sure they get their disability pay. (Not making it up, not something I heard from someone who heard from someone, it is something I was told by former military moved to GS positions). The money pulled in through military retirement, plus % disability pay, plus potential GS retirement is no small amount. Also the rampant fraud - They can go to a VA Hospital get their prescription, "lose/accidentally throw away/left it on a trip/need it while on a trip" [sometimes legit, but not uncommon for them to sell for profit] and get a free refill. When the cost is anticipated to be "normal" care and balloons into the hundreds of thousands to millions it doesn't leave them with enough to cover for all

Killers are no heroes. Never.
