        Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.

          That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad

              It depends what you mean by universal healthcare- but also generally the US pays much better. And at least in the area I used to live the VA wasn’t bad.

                Hate to break it to you but the US is last in OECD nations regarding universal healthcare and I can’t believe I have to explain that
