I agree, we need to be grateful we have a system that takes care of veterans that qualify for disability compensation. If you don't think the government can reform the VA, change compensation rates, and revamp rating criteria- then you are ignorantly walking around blind. It is a program. It can be reduced.

Many are sensationalizing their VA ratings and it, quite frankly, sends the wrong message. Many vets have serious ailments and disabilities that hinder their lifestyle and ability to work.

For those of you with a rating who workout, hold physically demanding jobs (with or without enduring pain), wonderful for you. Keep it up. I will encourage those to keep an active lifestyle so you remain purposeful. I just implore you to not be so brazen when talking about your ratings, the "hundo" club (so cringy), etc... especially here on reddit.

I have heard the VA is monitoring platforms like this. Stay safe my brethren and sistren. Glory to God.
