Also, veterans get preferences for fed jobs. So what they typically do is get a fed job after leaving the military. Once their clearance is processed and they start their new job, they will talk to other vets who are collecting 40k/yr in disability. And they will inevitably apply for disability due to their "PTSD" despite never having seen a second of actual combat.[/quote]

+1. And then once they start collecting their disability, they buy an expensive car. If you live in VA, ‘disabled’ veterans don’t pay personal property taxes on their cars or on property taxes on their primary residences. So they collect their retirement, their GS 13-15 pay, and their ‘disability’. Look around. There’s an influx of Virginia plates with red ‘DV’ letters on them the past few years. There is an entire Reddit complete with guides and links on how to get to 100% disabled status. Veteran’s Benefits are ballooning out of control, but it’s a political sacred cow to touch. It’s not sustainable. [/quote]
