    VA benefits and care is really bad though to be fair. Some veterans really go through the meat grinder and are never put back together again.

    The US’ policy is basically support the troops (in words only) and throw away the veterans (in actions). Thankfully Jon Stewart has really has put so much energy and real effort into VA care advocacy or it’d be worse. It’s still bad though.

    Spend best years in training and battle

    Lose an arm and a leg when defending the rest of the worlds freedom from the Nazis

    Fast forward, be veteran

    Slight PTSD, wince every time when hearing loud noise which sounds similar to gunfire

    Depend on welfare because only 1 arm and 1 leg

        You forgot the part where they get the Big Sad for killing people and so we should all feel sorry for the killers.

    This reminded me I have back problems and I can’t cry anymore due to C-PTSD and MDD.

    So, healthy reminder to everyone out there, crying is a release and there’s no shame in it.
