I’m not saying you are wrong, but a few years ago, when I went in to ask, I was told to my face that I did not qualify because I did not serve in Viet Nam. Also, I was informed by E-Mail of the same when I contacted the VA on line. But you are right to point out that if I don’t need to be treated there, it is best to leave it alone for the sake of others. So I will.

I was told to my face that I did not qualify because I did not serve in Viet Nam.
They lied.
I actually received a letter from the VA about a year ago telling me I was eligible for Group 7 coverage.
Interesting because, 1) I never requested coverage, and 2) I actually meet the Group 8 requirements.
I would only use the VA as a last resort, although, if you're taking an expensive prescription medication, you can (usually) get it through the VA at a relatively low cost.
