I disagree, it seems a lot easier to get military disability than civilian social security.
I furthermore I think this can be a good discussion without coming off as anti vet. One question that comes to mind is why are so mammy getting these back, shoulder, knee injuries from the military. Can the military makes changed to prevent some of these? And from your opinion, is there fraud taking place?
If you talk to a lot of vets you will see that a lot of the disability is mental, sure 10% here for knee 10% there for a back but the stressed of just the military life in general can change you.
Sure I've never seen a friend die, we have shot at people yes, but nothing to crazy. But the stress and work load of a 8 month deployment with literally 18 hr days with zero days off. Wears you out. My job was to defend against missiles attacks so every time I took watch twice a day for 6 to 7 hours a watch I was on the look out for a missile that would certainly mean death if it hit. Plus the work load of maintenance, keeping quals, training, lack of sleep drove me basically crazy and cost me a marriage. Took me some years to get back to the person I was before as it just changed me as a whole.
That was one of three deployment I did.
Now he can saw what he wants about it being fraud or however he justifies he's views but until you know someone's story or what they have been throughout you really are just kinda talking out your ass.
And yes I tend to lean right on some issues and left on others. I vote on a reasons not the parties
