actually tried to write comments 2 different times to this,... too layered of a societal issue to summarize without writing a stupid amount.
1. Vets, now more than ever because of mixed media advertising campaigns feel that they're going to be owed ongoing recognition for signing up after they're discharged... and it's the opposite...
2. Vets come back with medical problems instead of recognition as parting gifts
3. The medical problems become the only leverage Vets have for getting public acknowledgement
4. The effort to get public acknowledgement becomes political fodder, the media gets to decide which medical problems are bad enough to actually complain about
5. Ugh
