In Oregon, a disabled veteran doesn't have to pay for registration...
I do not know all the laws in all the states, but I have always said that vets paid, and continue to pay, and certain fees should be waived...or less. Like Military plates, they shouldn't cost us extra....I'd like to see drivers license renewal fee get waived, as well as State Park entry fees, hunting and fishing licenses should be waived as well
Are there fees you wish were waived for veterans? Ie. like out-of-state fees for colleges are waived now....

This probably isn't a popular opinion but at what point does this stop? To me it is starting to feel like Veterans are expecting the world for a few years of service. Granted for many of us that was several deployments and some hard-fought combat but this is getting ridiculous that Veterans think they should have a free ride the rest of their lives. I understand there are some perks that are nice, especially for disabled Vets, but to expect them is starting to go a little too far in my opinion.

Combat experience changes a man (or woman) some call it PTSD, some call it paranoia.....I think all that is worth a few perks. And our enlistment truly never ends, if we are ever invaded, who is going to Fall (back) In?

A few perks is one thing, but I feel we have adequate perks. My issues arises from the fact that we seem to expect these perks, which to me is bordering on entitlement, something many Veterans rail against. Of course combat changes us but that doesn't mean that the rest of society specifically owes us anything more than paying taxes to fund the VA in my opinion.

As you know each state is different because each state has their own budget. Now with that said some states are much more friendlier to the military while others are not and this is in no way a Federal issue. Do I think veterans should have fees waived no because they use the services and that service requires assets, people, computers, buildings, etc... Do I believe in a discounted fee sure but not completely waived otherwise you create even a bigger budget issue at each state level.

One thing that bothers me is paying for tolls driving to and from drill. Tolls should be waived when in uniform.
