I think it’s good to define what a veteran is. Honorably served. Not kicked out. Genuine service connected disability. Not a tradoc kid that was kicked out for failure to train, malingerers, ect.

Next is to define what the VA is… A welfare system for veterans.

I’ve read and seen so many different chapters packets. Honestly, it’s tiring of the criminals that come in…. Then when they get kicked out and think the world owes them something... If one was homeless before. Odds are, if they can’t play by AR, they’re going to be homeless on the back end… this is a societal issue. Not a VA nor a military issue.

A guy i served with stayed with me for a few months to get back on his feet. I knew his story and he is functionally as we used to say, mildly mentally retarded. He should have not been able to enlist but that’s a bigger issue at play. Anyways, the point of this. With a OTH the VA wanted nothing to do with him because he was essentially kicked out. Being slow was a social security issue and not a VA problem. lol

Also VA region is going to be vastly different on the level of care/help. Phoenix, Denver, Philadelphia, Detroit, ect wouldn’t be my first choice…but the VA does take care of their own*.

*except Vietnam vets. Agent orange exposure. Sarin gas exposure. Ect
