It's about damn time.
This country asks young people (sometimes *tells* young people) to give up years of their lives and risk those very lives.
And in return?
They can go hungry, homeless, suffer from physical and/or mental health issues with little help.
While most vets go on to live blessedly ordinary lives, many don't. And the nation owes it to them and their families to, as best as possible, make them whole. We do a shockingly inadequate job of it.
