I'm very grateful for everything the VA does for me, some of my fellow vets including the types you mentioned have an overblown and abusive sense of entitlement that is scary to the point of wishing for an armed guard at the facility.
FWIW, beyond the obvious toll of human carnage, the ongoing cost of wounded vet aftercare should be strongly considered when volunteering military action for something other than national defense/ survival, and the commitment willingly funded along with the munitions and other profitable aspects of international affairs beyond diplomacy.
