Absolutely, not, the ability to claim compensation for service related injury is part of the package. This is just another small way of compensating an individual for their sacrifice in serving their country.

Are disabled veterans (with injuries that are non-combat related) that received a Line-of-Duty being harassed? Are we considering service members that are hurt in training, or members that are injured during activities like intramural softball practice? Every situation is different and there is a difference between accidental and reckless behavior.

Too many people abuse this...I suspect that the only ones who feel badly about taking disability are the ones who actually deserve it!

Maybe they feel badly but they are happy to take the money.

If it was in the line of duty with no misconduct, absolutely not.

nope! David people dont get it. Even during "peace time" I have no idea how many SF dudes I have seen injured in non combat related injuries. We have got to take care of our people

LTC Jeff Shearer I agree with you. Too many civilians don't realize the inherent dangers in training. I have had artillery and mortars drop danger close on ranges. That was all part of the job.

It depends upon the disability and the Veterans.

I just posted about us and getting treatment for our service. And absolutely no guilt on getting disability brother. There are more civilians with disability then us so think about that.

Not at all. As long as the injuries were determined to be part of your duties then you have the right to be compensated. I was a REMF and I managed to blow my ankle out and need surgery and PT to try and fix it. Wound up with a P3 for my troubles but the MMRB kept me in due to my MOS. I will give up my spot in line to ANY Veteran or Active member with a combat related injury if we are waiting for service. However I do not feel bad at all for the small percentage I get.
