(493 posts)as you were could have found you buying weapons to out processing soldiers and to dealing with personal issues of soldiers....according to what your actual job function/position was.
And yes, it all is pretty sad. My biggest concern outside of the the bad rap the military gets is likewise over how most have no clue in what goes on or how our military is structured.
I hate to say this, but with the VA getting into the spotlight lately I must:
I have 2 friends that work at a VA hospital. Both have asked me why I never talk about my service and have never used the VA services that are available. I simply tell them that that was an entirely different life that I lived for those few short years and it is all behind me and really was not "who I am". With this said, both said "Well if you ever need anything let us know as there is help available within the VA and you deserve that benefit"....in the same breath they will say "It's guys like you that we feel grateful for as the majority of the ones we see at the VA are trying to scam the system and get disability benefits and these folks clog the system and make it hard for us to treat vets that could actually use some help".
