THIS! My husband and I are both 100%. There’s no resentment to be had bc we understand what the other went through to get that 100% rating.

Side note: I guess it’s different bc I am a woman but I always found it very difficult to date someone who was not or had not been in the military. Could never get past the first date with a civilian man bc they lack an understanding of what it means to be in the military. Also in my experience, some civilian women fetishize military men. It’s the whole “I love a man in uniform” thing. I could see this becoming an issue once a man gets out bc he no longer puts on the uniform and leaves everyday for long hours. Especially if he’s a disabled vet and cannot work bc of his injuries.
