Should Veterans feel bad about being awarded and receiving VA disability compensation for non-combat related injuries?

In short, Hell no! You served, you were injured while serving so you deserve whatever compensation you receive.

The law states a veteran is entitled to receive disability compensation for any injury or disease "incurred or aggravated" in the line of duty during active military service, and which can currently be diagnosed by physician.
"Any" means "any", and no one should feel any less worthy for receiving same.

Hell NO...Majority are Non Combat related. To fight hard, you train hard, Injuries can certainly be expected.

If you were working for a private employer and got injured on the job, their workers comp insurance would have to pay for it. If you are disabled from a construction project you can collect disability. So why would the military be any different? Besides your pay already sucks!

I have been reading the statements regarding this issue. I do not understand any rebuttal to VA Comp to the vets who have served in any fashion. Their injuries were attributed to time served. So no questions should be asked accept for those associated to comp given for such injury

No veteran should ever feel bad for being awarded and receiving compensation for their injuries while serving - matters not that the injury occurred in combat, during training, or in the halls of the Pentagon. I am proud of my time in trial under fire, thankful even, and take comfort in the knowledge I did not shirk from my duty or cower in my fox hole. To the men and women who still seek answers to questions that can only be answered while under fire, and who sustain personal injury I say go forth with pride to the VA for you SERVED when so many did not. Never be ashamed for your service, the flag you performed that service under or the oath you took upon entering the service. You earned your compensation, for you chose to serve and your injuries were earned honorably in the course of your service. Let no man, woman, or child shame you into believing otherwise!

It was a part of the deal we made when we joined the service, we kept our end now they can keep their end of the deal. When you enlisted you had certain expectations from the military, a part of that was health care and afterward VA eligibility. Do you feel bad about using educational benefits? Of course not, it was part of the agreement you had with the military when you joined, the same thing applies for disability compensation a benefit you earned if you need it.

no I felt a bit guilty at first but the army in infantry is a very dangerous job people get seriously hurt or killed on regular basis. Injured training for war or being in a war ...there should be no difference.

NEVER.
Our scars are evidence of our defense of this Nation. I'm 100 percent disabled and proud of mine. Every mark is evidence of fidelity and character.

I feel as though veterans shouldn't feel bad about any VA disability compensation non-combat related injuries. I feel as though if it effects your quality of life then claim it, and don't feel bad at all. Luckily I went through the mental struggle when I was on active duty but for months I didn't want to reach out because I always told myself "There are guys out there worse off than me that need it more than me." or "Have you heard all the negative about the VA, you will be lucky to get any kind of help from the VA." Something to tell yourself is my journey is different than others. I know I'm getting up on my soap box but in general non combat vets should feel bad or any less than combat vets. You served your time if you got an injury of any kind while you were in then it's service connected. I know a guy that was in the marines and deployed and came back and a couple months after he got back he was in a car accident that almost cost him his life and he has a severe TBI and can't talk as well still because of it but it's still service connected, and gets seen at the VA for it.
