Isn’t one of the common complaints about US military healthcare is that it is notoriously terrible? You’d come in with your torso, three arms, and a leg blown off, and you’d be given a panadol for your trouble, whilst getting it put on your record, where it might impair future promotions?
Even for post-military, it’s still not great. There are countless anecdotes about people having to wrangle with the Veteran’s Association trying to get military acquired injuries classified as such, or simply not getting apporpriate care at all. Particularly when it comes to psychological injury as a result of military service.
Are you just repeating things you’ve heard from the Vietnam era? I have been fully in the military health care system in Washington DC, Portland Oregon, Reno Nevada, Los Angeles California, and it has all been excellent state-of-the-art care.
Not at all. I’ve talked with a few friends and acquaintences in Virginia and Florida who very much complain about the woeful state of military healthcare, in addition to seeing the complaints show up here and there on military reddits.

It’s not entirely anecdotal, though. There are known staff shortages at the moment, although it seems to have been going for a while.
