I remember when I was in seeing all the waste, fraud and abuse. then thinking by just being in i was wasting more tax dollars than i could ever possibly pay.
Biden just fixed tbat for ya. You'll get it all paid back.
But seriously, you were working and earning. Not getting a handout. There are things the country needs and Service.men and women are one of them. The more the merrier.
What we dont need is all the other government waste. Welfare fraud etc.
Right on brother. I didn't mean for this to come off so negative.
Ha, no worries. I work in an MCO. I see waste ALL over yhe place and know exactly how it feels.
It's so inaccurrate it can't come off any other way.
Difficult pill for veterans to swallow: If you signed up for the money, school, or benefits... You're a mercenary.
Everyone signs up for something. At least being in service is honerable work. Can't be said about SOME ways of making $$$. Say maybe politics?
If we signed up to serve and got those benefits we earned them. Mercenaries fight for other governments in private armies, not their own nations military ive done both. It's no pill to swallow at all as it is my rightfully promised amd earned benefit.
Any Veteran who has to use their system for medical care is a fool. I have been involved with them for years with my work and I can tell you......well maybe it's not worse than private care. I also have been involved with outsourced providers and it's a nightmare as well sometimes. The VA is nothing more than pill pushers! They have sunk billions of $ into the computer system and they have so f***ed it up! What a damn disaster. Worse than the DMV
I use the VA. I take zero pills. It's no better and in some cases worse than civilian Healthcare but there really isn't much difference.
Same doctors that see us end up in private practice someday so u have the same docs too. Difference is I don't pay a dime. Why, because I paid up front with my body.
The only fools are people who don't know the difference.
So I disagree with you. I had a client that had an infection on his foot during the pandemic. We tried everything to get the VA doctor to take it serious. Tried for months to get an outside referral to a vascular doctor. By the time he finally got an appointment with the vascular doctor, he had gangrene so bad, the doc had to amputate his leg 2 days later! I was with him the entire time and I was helping him work thru the VA system. My client did everything possible to get help. BUT he didn't have to pay a penny! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
We made a contract with the American people. We earned that schooling and America was fine sending us to fight their wars. We earned it and now to pay for someone else's school through higher taxes when we were to save that money for our own use is bothersome we are not the reason for higher taxes so the meme is bullshit.
Let's ramp up that veteran hate back to Vietnam levels! Yeah, that's the spirit.
I love how some people go right for the military first, when there are literal millions of other examples of far worse uses of our tax dollars than the military, like giving grants to "scientist" to study the effects of cow farts on the environment.
You can't come up with anyone better to shit on than our veterans who used one of the very few incentives they have, in return to being bullet sponges, to educate themselves and return to society AS taxpayers?
Read my other post in here.
Instead of "thank you for your service" i say "your welcome for my money"
