    I have met people who was in the service enough to know the struggle is real.

    It’s just hard to believe that they depend on Reddit for their support system.

      Unfortunately if they are US service personnel this would not be hard to believe at all.

        Why only US?

          Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.

            That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad

              Most countries that don’t have universal health care, you mean.

                It depends what you mean by universal healthcare- but also generally the US pays much better. And at least in the area I used to live the VA wasn’t bad.

                  The US may pay well in terms of gross pay, but the real wages (spending power) and social supports are significantly weaker than in most other developed countries.

                    In terms of social supports for specifically soldiers idk in general, but I know that’s not true for st least one NATO & EU state

                  Hate to break it to you but the US is last in OECD nations regarding universal healthcare and I can’t believe I have to explain that

                    Yeah but we aren’t talking about universal healthcare. We are talking about specifically veterans and current soldiers
