I dont know where in the hell you all get your information about the VA but my sister was in the Air Force for TWO years and has full benefits from the VA. FULL BENEFITS.
She served during an undeclared war also.
Matter of fact, you all are full of snit!
“VA will pay for prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care for eligible women Veterans, as well as care to newborns for the first seven days after birth for all eligible women Veterans. Many details are involved with pregnancy care.”
You're missing a bit there -
eligible women Veterans. And I don't know how your sister would get full benefits after only two years, unless she has major issues giving her a high disability rating or she has no income now! Let me clarify some of what I said. Yes, the VA will cover a lot of stuff, but they don't do it for free for most people. And Tricare coverage isn't under the VA.

We're committed to providing free health care for conditions related to military service and for Veterans with catastrophic disabilities and disability ratings of at least 50%, as well as for those who can't afford to pay for care. Learn more about how we'll determine if you'll need to pay for any part of your care.
...
If you're a Veteran who's recently separated from active duty, including active National Guard or Reserve duty, you may be eligible for VA health care for all or some of your health care needs. We’ll determine your eligibility based on your service history, VA disability rating, income, and other factors. If you had active-duty status for training purposes only, you don’t qualify for VA health care.
...
You can get free VA health care for any illness or injury that we determine is related to your military service (called "service connected").
...
You may need to pay a fixed amount for some types of care, tests, and medications you receive from a VA health care provider or an approved community health care provider to treat conditions not related to your service. This is called a copay (short for "copayment").
Why does VA require me to provide information on my health insurance coverage (including coverage under a spouse’s plan)?
We ask for this information because we have to bill your private health insurance provider for any care, supplies, or medicine we provide to treat your non-service-connected conditions (illnesses or injuries that aren’t related to your military service).
