The VA is the Veteran's Administration.
Does the country look out for them... us, for PTSD? Not really.

The proper answer is far more nuanced and intricate, but the TL;DR is no. Mistreatment and lack of care for veterans is a tradition as old as this country. That is not a joke or exaggeration. After the Revolution was won, the very first thing the civilian leadership did was deny their pay and there was almost a military coup over it.
That was not an isolated incident either.
Periodically due to gross mismanagement of the budget, every few years, their ability to even pay the military their basic paycheck they are under contract to pay, is called into question.

Do you think a government like that is capable of providing proper post service care and support?

I haven't seen the Punisher, but to summarize PTSD... while I'm fortunate to not have any direct first hand experience with it, it isn't as bad as the media and pop culture would have you think.

It's worse. The media would do well to shine a light on the matter to expose its horrors and how poorly the VA is treating the vets if they are even recieving care at all.

It's a mixed bag. Some movies have done it well, particularly more recent ones.
To be fair, I haven't seen too many lately, but I've heard good things.

You gotta remember, military personnel are still human. All those needs wants and desires. Showing them as flawed heros, humans with emotions under extreme stess, I'd say has been pretty close to reality in the ones I've seen.

Kinda hard to describe often. Sometimes there's a subtle thematic undercurrent that most miss, but military will pick up on it almost right away with comments like, "oh yeah, that's like the time back in *," or "that is sooo just like Jonesy."

Yup.

This was the same exercise where the Lieutenant asked me to go easy on using the night vision goggles for stargazing because guard points I was at overnight seemed to go through batteries a little faster.

I've mentioned this before but it's a funny little story. Back in the Army, at the begining of a guard shift, I overheard someone say, "Man you out on point 4 tonight? Who with? Smitty? Nah, you'll be fine. You might even want to take notes."

Oh yeah. I can be.

Astronomy. Get me revved up about Astronomy and watch me go. I don't just get excited or passionate... I get animated. I wave my arms and jump up and down. I shout and make voices.
I make sound effects like nnnyyyooommm! WHOOSH! KA-BOOOOOM!!
I draw on the blackboard if I have one and I just might start climbing furniture.

It does look like they are wearing respirators. It's a start, but if that's lead, the PPE should be more comprehensive.

You shouldn't. It's awesome.

25 years ago, I invented inventing.
:P

In the eyes of several other nations, this will be a gross and blatant violation of basic human rights.
Why? Information. Control the flow if information. Only the rich will have access to the truth. The poor will get told what the greedy big businesses want them to know.

You know, Good-Speak.
Welcome to 1984.

The point is, is that he is trying to do to the internet what EA did to gaming.
A basic internet subscription will be worthless, just enough to see a landing page that tells you you don't have access to view this page because you haven't paid for it.

You MIGHT have just enough access to view your subscription information and pay your bill for your worthless service. Even just email is doubtful, unless you pay for at least a Basic+ package, one that includes telecom correspondence.

But smitty, it's won't be that bad, you're conflating the issue.
Bullshit. Greed. Pure and fucking simple greed. If the government allows telcos to charge more for tiered services, I can guarrenfuckingtee you they will.

Yes. Game making is a business and are buisness to make money. Sadly, this isn't the business model of several companies with EA at the forefront.

Now it is pure greed. Gross, disgusting greed.
Greed to feed fat, overpaid executives their unearned paychecks. Execs that don't know the first fucking thing about designing, producing and making a game. Execs that need their hand held just to check their email they are so tech ignorant.

$60 used to be the price of a a full triple A title. A complete, usually and mostly bug free game that you could play to completion... as shipped, right out of the box.

Now, $60 gets you 1/4 of the game, maybe 1/3 of you're lucky. They are often bug ridden and show stoppingly broken. They require day one patches to be functional and also require constant updating for some reason, sometimes even removing content, content you paid for.

If you chose to forgo pre-order bonuses, your game experience will be different from those that did buy in. Often now with a game breaking OP advantage.
If you chose to skip the DLC, you usually miss a huge portion of the compete game.
Sometimes skipping DLC leaves your game broken.

Under this model, true complete games are pushing past the $250+ range.

Gun overthrow pens.

The sword keeps the pen in check, makes sure it doesn't overstep its bounds.

Fair play. In weapons technology terminology, I believe that may be referred to as "low yield device."
