I don't feel bad for receiving disability compensation for combat related or non combat related, and Most veterans that I know feel bad, because they don't receive disability compensation of any kind, and still fighting for compensation, because of there service connected injuries.

SP4 Byron Skinner. While I believe that the military works like the civilian disability market regardless or the circumstances of the Injury or Wound. Medical Treatment and the VA’s cash benefits are equal. For Amputees there is something like 75 dollar a mont for loss of limb or eye, but that’s the only difference I know of, does a veteran who lost a leg web a jack gave out while legs was under the vehicle in the motor pool, i don’t know. That said there are other benefits that can be given such as relief on property Taxes. Say the first $200,000.00 of property validation be tax exempt, Perhaps a no charge bus pass on municipal transpiration. The numbers of combat wounded veterans is very small and shrinking everyday. A discount on the net income tax say up to $200.000.00 of say 50 to 25% based on the amount of disability and its life changing effect on the man or woman who sustained major wound(s) when in actual shooting and killing combat.

No, just plain no. If it was service related, you earned it.

Hell no they shouldn’t FEEL bad....did our time and there are a SHITLOAD of valid injuries CAUSED by how the NEEDS of the military completely fuck up our bodies...I worked as an EN in a hell hole sucking asbestos through a fucking dust mask (among many other stupid fucking things) because the military treats its people like shit.

No we should no feel bad. We all signed the same paper saying we are willing to serve and we all would have deployed right along with everyone else if we had been told to.

Certainly not if the service connected disability was something over which you had no control and no part in causing. I suppose there will always be some "gold bricks" even in that. who play up the level of disability caused by whatever is the nature of that disability. But that will meet its just reward at another time, and in the meanwhile if you were injured in some way in the course of your duties, then accept the award.

Not at all. Over the course of a military career, people develop injuries that they deal with and put off for the sake of the mission. The military takes a toll on the body, from rucking to chuting to all other aspects of physical activity. No one, and I mean NOT ONE person who has honorably served any branch of service for a twenty year plus career, or even a tour of four to six years, should feel bad or ashamed for receiving compensation for non combat related injuries. Injuries, while in uniform, are still injuries…
