Although I'm a veteran I will never get the benefits I thought I would, as most services are now means tested. If the system were to be reformed, I suggest that the laws change so that veterans will never receive less service than was available when they served. Guys like me never considered that the benefits we were promised could ever be reduced or diluted. Back then, we had a blind faith in our government. Now, to anything the government says, I would say, "Oh, yeah? Prove it."
Hubby is a Vietnam vet who came home, went to work, and never....not once has used the VA system. How many millions are there just like him. Seems to me that with millions like him not using the system they should be able to afford good treatment of the ones that are.
