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

I wanted to add more that I have learned to this post. As you know from my last post I think of Veteran that gets hurt weather it's combat-related or not deserves to be a member of the VA and deserves to be taken care of. VA has been treating me since 1992 when I was put out of service for post-traumatic stress disorder and a number of other things.

People get just as injuries in training accidents as they do inn combat.People get injured during a bad landing during a jump. I had a patient get a convex fracture to the skull because a hook from a crane hit the guy in the head. They still can get compensation.

You don't have to be in the BUSH to get HIT. Rockets and Mortars injure on even on SUPPORT BASES PTSD Can occur anywhere! Again these circumstances are NOT RECOGNIZED!

Semper Fi

There are some instance where a vet might not be in Firefights. I know of several bases that were Hit with Rockets and /Or Mortars People were injured, but received NO Recognition In a few other cases People may have been Hit by Shrapnel but didn't go to a CORPSMAN, again NO recognition. And what about the Thousands with PTSD (Confirmed) No Recognition... And even some that may have been in a Firefight, but because they were Not In THE BUSH, NO RECOGNITION...

not at all

Eye surgery. Going bad

I want to thank all service men and ladies for serving this great country God Bless you all. If it wasn't for the VA I would be dead now or crippled for life. God bless them all

Of course not, when an individual raises their right hand and swears loyalty and fidelity to our constitution and government we in effect hand over our future and our well being to their safe keeping.Accidents happen, exposure to danger happens both during training and service to some and they are affected for the rest of their lives. For this they should be compensated and be treated medically to the fullest extent.

NO!

if perhaps in support of war related troops------no!
