      Having many extended family with PTSD, it would bankrupt the military… (not that I think it’s necessarily a bad thing)

      I mean in general, if they actually took care of their vets in whole, not PTSD alone. Or… medical costs would be forced to fall in line with reality

        If only we had a budget that allowed literally infinite spending on the military… Where could we possibly find the billions of dollars to pay for military needs?

        There are days I look at the US military as a food processor. Bodies go in, and are completely forgotten about until company asks “what is that smell coming from the sink?”

        Single-payer healthcare for all is the actual fix here. Take it out of anybody’s budget and manage it as a central service.
