Not everything is PTSD related. I’m not one that will try to aim to get full VA disability but over 3k flight hours with the possibility of getting shot down at odd times of the day/night and over 4.5 years away from my family still takes a toll on the body and mind.

Of course they weren't.

But I can guarantee you all of them faced much more stress at some point in their career than a college student sitting in air conditioning being lectured by a teacher.

You're surprised that "MAGA" might be skeptical of how every federal agency/program spends money?


You’re not skeptical. Many of you are outright calling veterans welfare queens and demanding major cuts to benefits. Stop being dishonest.

My apologies, Candace. You’re just asking questions

Because the VA is the lone federal bureaucracy that is super efficient and fraud-free.


Who said anything about efficiency or fraud free? Did you miss where I called the process rigorous?

Then you have the most likely source of fraud, the paid firms who charge a veteran a percentage to "help" increase their rating via new medical appointments with preferred doctor's offices to obtain nexus letters stating the member's condition was likely caused during their service commitment.


Well then maybe the VA should make the process more transparent and easier to navigate

Meh, whatever we are only 40 trillion in debt

You should have stayed home and sucked off Bill O’Reilly with your yellow ribbon on your porch like real men instead.

Sorry, pal.

I’d bet an 88M transport specialist has seen more combat than most infantry type folks. I was an engineer before they had the CAB, but I can say for certain, I spent a lot more time outside the wire than many JTOC infantry folks who earn their CIB

This thread is a pretty good example of why veteran disability is "untouchable." You even mention reform and suddenly you're literally murdering vets. If you don't give the veterans their maximum gibs, you hate America you fricking commie

Nah, you military folks are just used to everyone kissing your arse

Call it like I see it

If there weren't so many freeloaders, maybe I would see it differently

I don’t know a single Veteran who wouldn’t admit there is fraud. I just don’t appreciate a guy who has never dealt with what we have dealt with a day in his life questioning what we’ve dealt with
