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

NOT AT ALL.. You we're under our flag. Our flag should cover you..

A definition of love is “doing that which is in the best interest of another”

Should we ever turn down love?

Not at all if it is service connected.But no one will help me with my disability compensation.I had an injury to my back and was on bed rest for months and the VA keep on telling me that in my medical record there is an injury about me about a football injury in my high school days.Hell i never played football.I asked a few weeks ago to remove the entry but have never heard anything from The Marine Corps record office.I dont know how to go about getting help.I hope all the other vets dont run into what i have.Is there anybody that can help me.e-mail address is djgary55@ gmail.com or send me a a letter to my address at.Donald J Gary 235 Minerva st.Wooster OHIO 44691 I have been in pain since 1975.Lost jobs because of this.And i am on disability (SSDI) for back and heart.Well take any advice i can get.Thank-you.Pfc Donald Gary USMC 1973 -1976

No they shouldn't you can still get injured as a support element that's behind the scenes

No way

Can anyone speak to Social Security disability benefits for retired Veterans.. I keep getting emails about applying for this. Is this a scam

NO

The ajudcators should be trained with the same thoughts. I was denied PTSD because I did not have combat experience. Their are mental health doctors at the VA Medical Facilities, that, do not thank that Veteran's can not get PTSD from Racial experances/treatment during active duty services.

No! I spent twenty years of my life in the military. I was prepared for combat but, I never made into direct action. I did spend time in Theater of Desert Shield and Storm, supporting Air Operations. I hurt my back lifting crates and received compensation. I also, injured my Knee, broke and ankle and developed arthritis in my hands and shoulders. As a Firefighter I was exposed to hazardous chemicals , smoke and some very gruesome sites. I developed PTSD due to this and many other exposures. I didn't find any reason to feel bad about being compensated for these. Since leaving the military I broke the other ankle, had a stroke which gave me seizures, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver. So remember we all had jobs to do. Support, direct combat, medical and other services are all part of military life. Just because you were not on the front line does not make you any less deserving of benefits..

I agree with you Col Christensen you are awarded compensation for service connected and not combated related injuries.
