A veteran of the Iraq war has returned to the country he loves so much and fought so hard for- he even lost a limb and his eyesight in one eye in the line of duty somewhere in Iraq when a grenade exploded right next to him. Now he's back in the U.S., trying to cope with his injuries and pick up his life where he left it prior to serving his country in Iraq. He was honorably discharged from service, received some kind of medal for his bravery, but has recently learned that the military will now only provide the absolute minimum of medical care for him now that he is no longer in the military, despite initially being assured that it would all be taken care of- the rest will have to be supplemented by a private insurance company which he will have to pay out of his own pocket.

Is this his own fault because he freely chose to join the military in the first place? Should he stop complaining and go out and get a job like everyone else so that he can cover his medical expenses? Should the military be obligated to cover his medical and health issues for the rest of his life?
 
The military should be obligated to cover his medical and health issues for the rest of his life. He risked his life for everyone here in America. We owe him that much.
