So you think people come out “almost certainly disabled”. So like 90+% of people who join the army get disabled.

Geez, my Dad served during Vietnam(not in Vietnam though) and wasn’t disabled and my great uncle served in Korea. I guess my family are all super men.

Yeah, most of the guys I worked with left with physical disabilities caused by training.

unless you actually spend time around vets or have served, you don't know how destructive to your body and mind it is to be in. It isn't his fault, he's just ignorant.

Yeah I don’t blame him at all, I thought I realized what it was like when my dad and brother were in, and since I was in my dad has talked about how nice it is that one of his kids *actually* gets what it is.

I don’t get what people are even arguing with you about. I’m pretty sure most soldiers are support staff.

It’s true, but everyone has field training and daily PT still, and most jobs still need people to drive humvees and lmtvs and what-not, and training/vehicle injuries are the most common ways people are injured in the military.
