I'm glad you're thrilled because you are going to be paying these guys a handsome indemnity for the rest of their (or your) life, whether they deserve it or not.

This is one case where I don’t mind the cost. It cost them much more than it’ll cost you or me.

Wrong.

These disabled veterans with PTSD deserve these benefits.

If they don’t have a valid diagnosis of PTSD, then no veteran will be entitled to these benefits.

[huldah1776]

There are really cool advances in treating PTS, especially neuro/biofeedback. Works. So when they are treated, they can start to get their feet back on the ground. Especially the homeless vets. I think (and I am just projecting) that this treatment will help a lot of others, too, rape victims, abused kids, etc. and the investment will save y’all money.

“paying these guys a handsome indemnity”

Handsome?

Handsome?

Are you laboring under the delusion that a disabled vet gets as much as 5% of what a congresscritter gets?

I'm not thrilled with this....some injury and some stress is to be assumed with military service...too many guys getting these rather lavish retirement packages and then using their status to get fed jobs, because they get "preference" and whalaaaa...they'll end up being double dippers....

I know some....one guy got this full retirement because he developed diabetes during this career...another had back problems.( he worked on jet engines)..another was in rotc and develeped some problem, but he had his entire college paid for....

we talk about changing our entitlement attitudes and saving the country, its no different for the military...

what if our fathers in WW2 got full retirement after their service?..certainly they saw horrible things....
