What are the best visa options and real estate recommendations for moving to Thailand with pets?

Thai Jag I am not a combat veteran but I can tell you that I have experienced things no person ever should. I have the scars, the nightmares and meds to combat these events. It’s not about who got there “wounds” in battle or not. Each soldiers experience is different. There are combat vets who have zero issues, there are other non combat soldiers who have many.

Both men and women have experienced SA in service. Both men and women have been physically attacked in service (not combat). I have a scar on my chin where I was NOT hit by my CO. Things happen and we cannot know what each veteran’s experience is or was.

Combat soldiers to desk jockey, We cannot do the job without every soldier doing each job assigned.

As far as gaming the system, I am certain a few have done this. But I believe this to be very rare. Anyone who has gone through the VA claims process can attest to how difficult it is to get an approved condition. Even harder to get the correct rating and yet again to get other conditions rated as the more conditions you have the harder it is to get more percentages.

It took 15 years fighting for my father and he was stationed at Camp Lejeune. Took another 8 years for my rating. And I had tons of in service records and hospital stays to back my claim.

Being able to work does not mean you don’t have a claim. It is not Social Security disability. It means that while in the job something happened that damaged you in some way. VA disability is a system that compensates you for that.

Anyone hurt on any job deserves compensation. Veterans even more so. Be it one day or 30 years that they served, they were willing to sign their life for their country. Regardless of job and regardless of locale. I will always support anyone willing to give their all for others.

My apologies for the long winded post.

Thai Jag VA disability, as framed since 1945, isn’t related to combat but service. The way the laws were written require three things- an event injury or illness in service, a current diagnosis of the same with chronicity, and a nexus between the two. VA disability is way different from SS or any other. Having said that, I think the system, as a system, has been gamed.
