Multiple deployments and ridiculous ROE's that render our guys much more vulnerable - no surprise to me that they're filing VA disability claims at record pace.
They signed on the dotted line, stepped up to the plate, served in combat for the Nation, and were wounded by gunshot, RPG, and IED.
They earned it, they deserve it, and they should receive it. Get rid of some BS social programs that don't pass Constitutional muster anyway - channel those funds to pay benefits to our wounded Vets.
Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
