I am a Desert Storm Vet and this, just like Gulf War Illness/GWI/ Desert Storm Syndrome is a big cash cow for lots of people who don’t need it.

The VA now gives disability benefits to all Vietnam Veterans via “presumptive” approval for Agent Orange.

Which means it doesn’t matter whether or not you were exposed. It’s “presumed” you were and a disability rating of some sort (not sure the %) will be paid.

I believe it now also applies to the “blue water Navy” - soldiers who never actually set foot in-country.

And those that do will be screwed over….same as it ever was. It’s like TBI treatments. The guy that got drunk and fell off his motorcycle got all kinds of treatment and assistance. The guy that was in the back of an MRAP blown to shit got called a faker, malingerer, etc before someone took him serious.
