Unpaywalled archive link for the musk-and-trump fellating propaganda shitfest of an article.
meaning he loves America’s armed forces.
Only the ones that “didn’t get caught”. In what fucking world do veterans get “absurdly generous” benefits? Definitely not the veterans I know, who wait months to receive middling at best medical care… Oh there it is. Because the benefits budget has increased, clearly veterans get too much personally. lol
They also seem to think a monthly payment of 2200 to 4000 a month is “absurdly generous”. That’s not even enough to live (period) as a single-person’s independent income in most medium cost of living areas, especially if you have even the tiniest medical expense that’s not covered.
Seriously. This article is an embarrassment. Yeah, no shit, our disability payments have gone through the roof. A decade of the War on Terror will due that. Ironically, much of this has come from better medical technology; many people now survive with disabilities that previously wouldn’t have come home at all.
I tried to look up the author of the article, but they seem to be cowardly not sharing it. How much you want to bet it was penned by some neocon who was pushing for the Iraq War before it happened?

I was going to say similar. Maybe their allotted benefits look attractive, but good luck receiving them in any useful timeframe. Even taking the article at face value, they have “absurd” benefits in theory, but get a fraction of them in practice.
