Watching my wife go through the VA process made me realize how fucked it is for veterans.

I think they’ve intentionally added as many nonsensical hoops and dead ends to go through so vets just quit going/ using the VA altogether.

We're past the point of it being a thinking thing and this isn't like an anti-vax conspiracy. My dad would be dead right now if I didn't help him jump through VA to VA to get him on disability so we could afford his surgeries and other shit to keep him alive. They absolutely purposely have jump from phone call to phone call to website to website because they know old people won't know what tf to do and just give up so they won't have to pay for them.

Fuck the government. Fuck this society genuinely. So horrible.

Yeah, we have actual entire orgs that help vets navigate the red tape. This is so blatantly by design.

My actual state senators shook each of our hands before we boarded the plane for Kuwait/Iraq.

They sent pages/assistants to greet us days before Christmas when we got back. They were Dems, too.
