I don't understand why your vets get treated so badly. When my father came back from WWII he was a wreck and he got the best treatment available till the day he died. Once he died my mother got gold-plated treatment till she passed away.
My son is not long back from 12 months duty at the sharp end in East Timor - even though he's fit and healthy the government will look after him for the rest of his life plus he now qualifies for low interest housing loans and all sorts of other benefits that US vets don't seem to get.
