Good Grief.
Only 7% of living Americans have ever served in the military, less than % are now serving active duty, in the Guard or Reserves.
Civilians with no connection can rent military housing units at reduced rates.
63% of immigrant families (both legal and illegal) take some form of government welfare either at the state of federal level.
Congressmen get 72% of their Cadillac medical plans paid by the taxpayers and have the opportunity to continue that after leaving office.
After just 5 years of service, they also get some form of pension at age 62, more the longer they served. I served 7 and get nothing.
Children of some veterans and those of KIAs and MIAs get full tuition, I served and get no educational benefits.
IF they qualify, veterans are placed in one of EIGHT priority groups to determine their care.

I don’t think it is outrageous for those who wrote a blank check payable to the US Government for up to and including their lives at ages 17, 18, 19 etc when the other 93% plus non-Americans did not.
You need to wake up and see what is going around you and across this country, imho.
“less than 1% are now serving active duty, in the Guard or Reserves.”
What's your point?
All of what you posted above represents government largesse, why shouldn't VA benefits be restricted to veterans who are either retired from the military or who are disabled due to their military service?
You claim you served 7 years and get nothing. Well sorry dude, but you don't deserve anything......
You deserve no more than an employee in the private sector who works for their employer for seven years and leaves that company.........You expect that employer to provide you with lifetime benefits or education simply because you worked for them????
If you became disabled during your seven years of military service then I would support your claim that you are entitled to medical care. But since you weren't, you're just another ex-employee of the military, just as I am.......
So take your whine somewhere else.........
