      Every other western major country has free healthcare as a human right. America doesn't and we pay double. While corporations can write off unlimited taxes. We fund corporate welfare instead. Its so weird. I don't get it either.

      @@jaekae-u3kI’m French and former army wife… the military in my country has its own medical services and when one of them need a surgery like ligaments etc, they often get the doctors who operates the professional sports people with recovery protocol quite alike. The social security system is the same as for the rest of the country, so they have the same coverage and prices for everything than the rest of the population, but they are administered separately. And we have recognition for professional illnesses in different fields of work in the country, and the army acknowledges any accident or illness resulting from duty, and the health fees related are taken in charge entirely (or very close to) by the health insurance.
      It s not a perfect system, but most people can be taken care of… most troublesome nowadays is to find a doctor.

    I also remember the kids playing around tanks destroyed with such ammunition. Obsolete tanks that wouldn't withstand the weakest drone attack on today's Ukraine.

    Thank Jon Stewart, yes. By bringing his high profile to this, hopefully something will get done. Shame, however, shame on those who call upon the citizens of the country to make sacrifices in the field of war, abandon their warriors when they return home, and then pay them the hypocrisy of thanking them for their service. The Military Industrial Complex really learned from Vietnam. They’ve made worshiping the service of the common soldier a religion. They used the shame people felt at vilifying soldiers returning from Vietnam as a way of perpetrating war under the guise of respecting the troops, and then, when they return from war, cutting their services and leaving them to the apathetic ministrations of whatever is left.

    Anyone who has spent any time in the military knows that servicemen and women will claim literally anything and everything they possibly can as a duty related ailment and seek payment for it after they separate. At a certain point, Stewart needs tombe educated on this and needs to consider whether his efforts are valid or if they're merely supporting the agenda of selfish "I'm gonna get every cent i can for anything I can no matter if it's legitimate or not!"
