One of my baws got a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan.
His vehicle got bombed, 2 baws with him killed.
He had issues with alcohol etc afterwards.
Went to PTSD rehab for veterans.
He stated that 90% there were juicing the system, as in they'd never had a shot fired at them etc. Said most were non combat playing system for cash.
I have also seen guys at work, "10% disabled" with ingrown toenails. The ingrown toenail guy uses VA for his healthcare despite our company giving great benefits.
My father in law hit a mine in suez in 88 or 89? Lost his foot, hasn't collected disability. Has a good job.
There are legit disabled folks.
However, there are a frickload gaming the system. It's not wrong to point that out.
