If that is 100% disability, supposedly you are not allowed to work afterward.
Many people who need to support themselves do not make much of their lives. I do not know how many people want good jobs just to purchase stuff, but if you take away that motivation, I am not sure what is left.
There is a guy I call "Sunshine" that works in the cardiology department at the Phoenix VA. He says that he wants to return to Iraq, but without rules of engagement. He just wants to shoot people?
He says he has a friend that lost a leg and received ten percent disability, but 40% for PTSD, and he never even applied for it. Then he started ranting about people claiming PTSD from Basic.
I cannot speak for Navy or Air Force boot camp, but I doubt they are traumatizing.
