An ancestor of mine was a Civil War vet who was captured and imprisoned in Andersonville. He escaped, made it home, and for two decades was denied benefits. He was killed in a hunting accident. His wife carried on fighting, and, after years, was finally awarded his pension. Bottom line, the theme of the U.S. abandoning its vets is as old as the country itself.

Don't forget how the Continental Dollar (Which the Continental Army was exclusively paid with) was virtually worthless after the Revolutionary war because it had nothing backing it up. Granted, they did exchange them for bonds worth something, but nowhere near the small fortune ($29 per month at the time, with a rough equivalent of $50,000 today) each soldier who enlisted was promised

Im a vet. The benefits are amazing. And the VA improved dramatically after the legislation John McCain and Bernie Sanders authored and Obama signed. Along with the efforts of then-Secretary Shulkin, who was fired by Trump in a manufactured scandal because he resisted privitization efforts. The VA will likely go down hill again but right now we're living in a golden age for vet benefits. Vet homelessness was down 50% in the decade before Covid. Do us a favor and dont just parrot stuff you hear on tv because it sounds patriotic to complain. Truth is more nuanced and difficult but it is better for everyone in the long term and the actual patriotic thing.

I just realised they no longer show the first witness finding the body. Shame - those were some great scenes.

Yes for an average person. Because NY was a "may issue" state, basically only rich people or people with political connections ever got approved to carry a gun. That's one reason why they're permitting laws were recently struck down by the supreme Court, they were effectively discriminatory. Under examination it was shown that basically no permits were issues to anybody under the poverty line, while people in the top 20% of incomes represented a majority of permit holders. Whether you agree with the rights under the second amendment or not, I don't think anybody feels that a person's rights should be determined by their social status

I find it hard to understand why anyone willingly sign up to join the military. You go through brutal training, put yourself in life threatening danger and even if you survive you might end up being physically and mental broken for the rest of your life. And what kind of reward do you get? Next to nothing. You get home only to be abandoned like a broken toy. I understand that these people love their country but I find it hard to understand why they do that when their country obviously doesn’t love them back. The military treats its soldiers like tools to be used and then discarded when they become a liability.
