Most of those awarded small percentage disabilities escalate the percentage of disability as the age of the veteran increases.<br /><br />Woman now account for 12% of all VA claims. How many woman were in actual combat? How many do a better job than a male? Not many.<br /><br />That is a very high cost for social experimentation.<br /><br /><br />Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.com
