Sapper, it was a hard-earned lesson in the US's history.
Many days I feel like the US still doesn't appreciate its service people. And it's not as much a national issue as it is a local one. When it comes to getting healthcare, assimilating into the local area and being accepted there, and accepting the fact that our benefits are eroding, we are grateful for companies who do give benefits.
Good luck in your search. We hear very little about British military benefits, but we are incredibly appreciative of your service in this war.
