"veterans are now rich?

Having once worked for a VA Medical Center, the veterans I worked with were a mix of poor, lower class, and struggling middle class. A very small percentage were moderately well off. 99% of these folks were non-officers and did not have good private health insurance. In any case, they are not given free treatment unless they have service-connected disabilities. They get a discount, but that's the LEAST we can do for the people who have served.
