The U.S. skates by on this because Tricare beats the shit out of most other family insurance schemes, woe unto the veterans themselves who might need specialized care and screening at the VA.The U.S. has never taken care of its veterens. After the revolutionary war, there was an incident where vets actually cornered Congress with guns because they weren't receiving the pay they'd been promised. It was an almost-psuedo-coup, but allegedly George Washington talked them down. We've been fucking them since day 1, and the modern V.A. is known far and wide as a bureaucratic purgatory. I'm not one of those assholes who thinks people in the military deserve anything bad that happens to them, but if someone does cursory research on the military or its history, they should know they're probably not in good hands, so I'm always a little confused when I see some vet fucked over by the military, struggling with the V.A., bewildered that this is happening when it's basically been the status quo for 200 years. I guess recruiters are good salesmen. I wonder how their game will change with troons, because you know that's going to be the new fucking thing. Instead of "they'll pay for my college" it'll be "they'll pay for my transition." Maybe this is just a new recruiting tactic after they've crunched the numbers on demographic surveys on enlistment age teens.
