I simply don't see how what the government does to the veterans is really any different than what employers do to some of their employees. In both cases I operate under the assumption that they're going to chew you up and spit you out.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. But it still pisses me off. There aren't many jobs where your life is on the line every day in the civilian world - but there are a few. I think if we ask someone to serve, we need to make it clear that they will get virtually no support to recover and see if we still have any volunteers. Lying and promising support that doesn't materialize is immoral.
