My step-father is a “vet” full medical, payments the whole nine yards. He went blind due to diabetes, the VA paid for everything, new computers for the blind, phones, teachers, but, he only spent a few months in the military and only served in Colorado.

Should he get the same benefits as someone that actually went to war?

I know someone on disability and gets everything he wants. His disability? He is grossly overweight. A friend of ours has real issues from his military service and can’t get any help. Go figure. My great uncle finally got his VA assistance. He lost his legs in WWII. He got a check right before Christmas for $78,000. He only got that because my dad is a pain in the rear end and wouldn’t leave the issue alone. Thank goodness.
