^^^^^^^^ this
There is more fraud in claiming VA benefits than in SS or Worker's Comp.

Are we talking about dogs that were in service getting retired to veterans who were also in service?
If a veteran has ptsd, how does it help to have a dog barking at the window everytime a car drives by or amazon deliveries?
This is an honest question.

Nothing you’ve stated in this thread reflects the Honor embodied in being a Marine, or respect for our fellow comrades in arms in other service branches.
I’m surprised you’d even consider saying them, nor have I ever met a fellow former combat Marine with your hard arse Rambo attitude. The ones that get your squad killed.
It would be wise if you can’t contain your unwarranted, ill considered thoughts, then just shut the frick up.
I hope that was clear.
Semper Fi isn’t just a slogan, it’s a way of life we cherish forever, even if our experience was like mine over 50 years ago.
Thankfully, your attitude is the rare exception and not the norm. No one should take them as representing the best of the United States Marine Corps.
I hope that was clear as well.
Good luck.

Kind of like disability claims?
Would you like to tell us more about yours?

You know this is bullshite! There's always at least one shitbag and the Army has far more than its fair share. I would go so far as to say that the Army probably has the highest shitbag to hard charger ratio.
Since it appears that you won't be honest with this forum, you should at least be honest with yourself. You may find that it brings you some peace? Many here will be duped by your emotion. Some of us (who know better) will not be.
Normally I would tell you to GTFO with the BS, but instead I will simply say TYFYS.

After seeing these replies, it is starting to make sense.

There are groups out there that have programs turning shelter dogs into service dogs and while it’s not impossible, it’s much more difficult than starting with properly bred puppies. Some of these groups have these programs to bring in donations and the number of legit dogs they actually produce is significantly lower than what they want donors to believe.

No "service dog" here, but anyone that screws with my dog and will find out what PTSD really looks like.

This is an honest question.
He's talking about an "emotional support animal" Not a "service dog". Unless wounded in combat as in an amputee, loss if hearing /sight it's for emotional support /coping mechanism animal.
"Service Dogs" are specially trained to perform a specific function to assist in as loss of the senses such as grabbing items, assist in loss of sight /hearing, notifying when an epileptic seizure is about to occur, etc.

Interesting take.
What did you do in the military, and what disability do you have?

It is. Much like VA disability.
