That is so pathetic. Our military vets deserve way more.

Don't forget all the money we spend on foreign aid as well. Our own people are the last to ever get anything.

Respect for our military is at an all time low. There’s little to no incentive to join, much less stay around for multiple enlistments. I hate to say it but the quality of people joining has gotten significantly worse in the past few years. Standards are almost non existent.

there is a bill called the Major Richard Star Act veterans are trying to get passed by congress. it is to give GWOT veterans who were injured/maimed their earned retired pay.

military retirees who do 20 years get whats called CRDP(concurrent retirement disability pay). meaning they get their full disability from the VA plus retired pay from the branch. for guys who got blown up just 3 years into their military career they get the branch retirement pay waived for VA disability only.

they are forced to sign the waiver or they won't receive any pay at all. can you imagine telling a guy who got his legs blown off during patrol that he doesn't deserve his full pay? therein lies the problem, most people in the House and Senate support the bill but they can't find the 10 billion to fund it over 10 years. they can't find 10 billion over 10 years but can pass 61 billion in a week for Ukraine.
