      I have met people who was in the service enough to know the struggle is real.

      It’s just hard to believe that they depend on Reddit for their support system.

        Unfortunately if they are US service personnel this would not be hard to believe at all.

                  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

                    The US may pay well in terms of gross pay, but the real wages (spending power) and social supports are significantly weaker than in most other developed countries.

      They can pack it up and move here where they won’t be pushed around like pawns. It’s be pretty easy to leave instructions on how to migrate.

      I did not, although my father did. It’s pretty grandiose to claim that a subreddit is helping prevent military suicides.

      So it’s everyone else’s responsibility to protect people subjected to Israeli wars by the lapdog US government?

        Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms…

          “Developed” countries see “undeveloped” countries (or whatever euphemism you want to use) as Others. We may be the target of their charity or of their pity sometimes, but we remain a mysterious monolith. I’m reminded of that whenever someone says “The US is [generally something bad] among developed countries”.

          I’m not angry about it. I get it. I still wish it wasn’t that way.

          As trivia, at least one “undeveloped” country has universal healthcare.
