Speaking as a veteran, I have no problem with this. Technically speaking,I am entitled to some VA disability benefits. I have some hearing loss because of my service. I simply refused to apply for it.

As with all government programs, the VA is not without its share of fraud/waste/abuse. I know of people who get a FULL disability check from the VA, but are still quite capable of having a job and/or still work under the table.

Yeah, I know it sucks. But we have to start SOMEWHERE. We simply can't keep spending like there is no tomorrow.... You won't have to worry about the bills, but I and most certainly my children will.
