          Speak for yourself. As a disabled veteran, my healthcare is covered, just not my wife and kids’, just yet. Socialism has actually been alive and well for certain swaths of the US population for a long time, just like the “socialism” that Hitler wanted for Germany … and now I’m back to thinking I should move my family off of this sinking ship.

              I have a regular job(for the moment; Seem to have hit upon a reasonable medication/therapy/routine regimen that allows for that, if not a sound state of mind). Doesn’t take a disability rating that pays much of anything to get the Healthcare coverage.

              That said, there are plenty of countries where I, maybe even my family, could live off what I get from the VA. I’m not looking to retire yet though.

                Sounds like you’re all set. One of the few. Glad you’re physically feeling well enough to work.

                And for what it’s worth, thanks for your service.

                  It’s all in my head, yo. Physically, I’m “strong as an ox”. Didn’t help me avoid SA from peers I had considered friends.

                    Too many people don’t take mental health seriously. I think we know where that gets us. Look around! Haha. 😅
