Somehow there is an X debate going on right now about VA disability ratings.
I'm hearing some idiots saying if it's not from a combat wound, you should not get a disability rating.
To which I rebut with the following; 20+ years of:
-12 mile ruck marches.
-5k/10k/10 mile/every other distance runs.
-Parachute landing falls.
-Obstacle and confidence courses.
-Vehicle rollovers.
-Helicopter hard landings.
-Heat injuries/cold injuries.
-Anthrax shots, COVID shots, all other kinds of shots.
-"Here, take some Motrin, you'll be fine."
-Weeks/Months/Years of high stress and little sleep.
-Extended periods of poor nutrition.
-Weird diseases you can only get in places like Afghanistan or Korea.
-Burn pits.
-All other manner of training injuries.
-Never telling anybody you are injured because if you do they might pull you from that leadership position you fought so hard to earn.
You do all that for 20+ years, your body will be torn up, I promise.
The US military is a physically demanding place, no matter what your branch of service or MOS. Training accidents happen routinely. People die in peacetime accidents, routinely.
The idea that a VA disability rating should only come from something that also earns a Purple Heart is nonsense.
If anything, our warriors are consistently denied VA disability ratings for what are clearly service-connected ailments.
