    Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.

      That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad

          It depends what you mean by universal healthcare- but also generally the US pays much better. And at least in the area I used to live the VA wasn’t bad.

            The US may pay well in terms of gross pay, but the real wages (spending power) and social supports are significantly weaker than in most other developed countries.
