When shit doesn't add up........
390,000 veterans of all wars are currently receiving VA benefits for PTSD. Wow that's sure a lot isn't it? Well let's see, there's about 1.6 million vets from Iraq and Afghanistan and another 500 thousand from Desert Storm and roughly 800 thousand left alive from the in-country Vietnam War. That's 2.9 million live vets and only 390,000 vets awarded PTSD disability. Only 13.4 % are getting VA benefits for PTSD.
Well then why does The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimate that PTSD afflicts: Almost 31 percent of Vietnam veterans. As many as 10 percent of Gulf War (Desert Storm) veterans. 11 percent of veterans of the war in Afghanistan (Iraq not included)....I'll bet you the recent percentages are low, people are still in service and are not counted.... but then it only pays 13.4%? Hey and guess what they are worried about happening FRAUD! No not under-serving veterans needs but that a few might get what they don't deserve.All I have to say is that DARPA better develop those robots and drone fighters before the next war in Iran.anda is
The Army etc. believes
Cured PTSD is not eligible for benefits. Personally I think curing PTSD is like curing a paraplegic. Prosthesis are required in both instances. That's not curing. PTSD re-occurs....that's a fact....notice the Nam percentage, that from older guys who reach their 60's and wham shit happens. Ah what the hell two decades of procrastination and the Nam guys will all be gone and the VA will have no problem.
