What is the percentage of soldiers getting MEB are faking injuries?

This is also nothing against getting out. I am all for people getting out and continuing a career outside the military. My major issue is the stacking you claim or over embellishing an injury or creating one to get out.

as someone dealing with this, I can say that some may be sandbags while others do a good job of hiding injuries for as long as possible. I have served for 11 years and have hid many of my minor injuries that are fast becoming major ones. I feel like a sandbag because it has gotten so bad the last 3 or 4 months I have to constantly go to the medic. I am not going to go into my medical details, but I pushed myself until I broke myself, and I still feel pressure to keep going and want to keep going. I can't consider myself a "wounded veteran", I am lucky enough to be intact, its just all the pieces aren't working right. That being said, there may the case that people push through the pain until they cant no more, and Motrin just doesn't cut it anymore.

I think that there are some who just wait until it is time to get out before they claim anything. This could be because they fear being kicked out before they are ready to leave or because they know the system is so backlogged and they think they can hang out for awhile, but do not want to miss out on benefits of being covered for something that happened during their time in.

However, there are some who milk the system in order to get more money out due to ETS or retirement, just because they can. It is hard to determine who is and who is not as PTSD and some internal issues are hard to determine if are real or not. I know someone who had a very very real case of PTSD, but since he was not woken up by it every night he was not classified as having it and could not get coverage. He really needed it and was denied. We have a system and we should always work within it, but also work to improve it as it will never be perfect as the needs of the service and those who serve change as does the things we encounter.
