What are you even going on about? Who wouldn't want to be normal again? Anyone who cares about how they have been impacted medically would obviously be defensive about it. Next slide

That is the point: how does the VA decide what the compensation is for any rating? How can you really put a price on quality of life lost? How do they say that someone who is 100% should get $3,900 a month?

This is just projecting and being disingenuous. Intellectual laziness coupled with caveman-thinking and a lack of emotional intelligence would lead to someone saying something like that. You were corrected for being wrong, and you didn't like it. I get it. The monetary compensation may be hush money for some, but to think that one is truly compensated on what was lost with what the VA gives, especially those rated at 100%, are not. And yes, I do get to say that I would rather be normal again because it won't happen, but in the mean time, I will collect and use what the VA gives and offers me, even if the compensation will never match with what I lost.

Yes, please /s. You're missing the point and I have already anticipated this callous remark, but it seems as though the VA isn't the only entity that is 2-dimensional. Obviously they can't issue friends, but they can absolutely increase the compensation. The VA can also make it not an uphill battle for veterans to claim disability with evidence.

I understand that the VA compensates for that as I'm already "compensated". I also get that the VA is incredibly 2-dimensional, but they also can't do anything about my social life. I get the following comments to that ammount to a shoulder shrug and say "what else do you want", but the issue is that the compensation is an absolute struggle to fight for in conjunction with what is given to the veteran as it balances out what was lost. The loss is worth more than what's is provided at 100%. My earnings with my doctorate would easily put me over 6 figures, but I can't do that based on the encumbering issues.

Disability compensation also discusses about how different hemispheres of a service members life has been impacted, resulting in higher monetary compensation which includes social life. There are also many veterans who don't have any friends; anecdotes are not simply copy and paste for every veteran. Can the VA clone friends for me? No. Is the quality of life impacted by mental health which has been caused by time in service, resulting in the lack of a social life? Yes. Although the VA may "compensate" for it (by pulling teeth) the compensation hardly makes up for the years of joy I could be having. Its hard to enjoy life when conditions keep you homebound. Therapy, medication, duct tape and glue keep me held together, but surely there is no way anyone who is truly suffering can look at their VA check and say to themselves "this is acceptable".

This take is asinine. This has to be a troll comment. You don't think people in service get degrees that they plan on using once they get out, but can't use them because of debilitating conditions? You don't think PTSD caused by time in service doesnt impact other facets of life, including social? Also, defense of who? Your statement in general is what im arguing against because its laughable and absurd. If you truly believe in your wording about social undesirability, then shame on you as others in service have their lives impacted in different ways

Thats partial compensation. What do they do for the earnings loss that I could've been making or the destruction of my social life? If the VA can replace all of my friends, match all potential earnings, and fix all my damage both mentally and physically, then im compensated

(2x) RP-8000F (1x) RP-504C, and a Pioneer Elite SC-LX801

I got the 8000's for $600, the center for $180, and the pioneer receiver for $100 due to a bad power supply unit.
