Worked as a civilian (GS) for the army for 30 year. This is pretty much SOP.
Everyone talks about honoring soldiers, but in every conflict they are used and discarded, like a used tissue. They come back with life long illness and are just abandoned.
It’s despicable, but is not new. No administration wants to pay the full bill for their wars.





God, I hate the “Thank you for your service” bullshit. I get it all the time and I wasn’t even enlisted. Especially from the conservatives, who thank you, then vote to cut benefits. It’s like fingers down a chalk board.
