    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

                You mentioned it bro, not me. I’d guess America also treats its military members like second class citizens, pretty common to see stories of the VA leaving soldiers high and dry after quite literally using their bodies to fuel imperialism.

                  No I didn’t?

                  Yeah it’s nowhere near perfect, but I know from personal experience that at least some other NATO countries are worse
