Vets With PTSD May Have Been Denied Benefits

Military is reviewing thousands of records

(AP) - The military is speeding up a review of the records of thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans discharged with post-traumatic stress disorder to determine whether they were improperly denied benefits. The agreement stems from a class action lawsuit filed by seven combat veterans who alleged the military illegally denied benefits to those discharged because of PTSD during a six-year period that ended in 2008.

45% of New Vets File for Disability

That's a huge jump from post-Gulf War numbers

(NEWSER) - American veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are filing for disability benefits at a rate never seen before, causing many to worry about the physical and mental health of a generation of troops, reports the AP . Of the 1.6 million veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, a hefty 45% are applying for injury-related compensation, well up from the estimated 21% who filed for help after the Gulf War in the 1990s. Almost one-third have been granted disability so far. And those applying for benefits in the last year claimed as many as 14 ailments—a huge jump from the average of four among Vietnam War vets and two among those who fought in Korea. More»

Obama Winning Among Veterans

Most believe Iraq war was unsuccessful

(NEWSER) - After a decade of war, America's troops aren't feeling very war-like. President Obama currently leads Mitt Romney among veterans who have served since the Gulf War by seven points—a wider lead than he has among the general populace—according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll , and many say it's because of his stance on defense. One former master sergeant, for instance, says he's a Ron Paul supporter, but in the general election he's voting for whoever he thinks is less likely to start "knee-jerk reaction wars," even if it means voting for "that Democrat."

Photo Flap Shows Military's Digital Generation Gap

Actions aren't new, it's all those cameras: Andrew Exum

(NEWSER) - The US military is dealing with yet another scandal involving soldiers' treatment of enemy remains . These kinds of incidents are nothing new in the annals of war, writes former Army officer Andrew Exum at Bloomberg View . The difference today is the "ubiquitous presence" of camera phones. Combine that with a "generational divide" on technology—the military's senior ranks can be clueless about Twitter, Facebook, etc., while young soldiers can be naive about consequences—and you'll see why the US military has a long-term problem on its hands.

'Vets for Weed' Swipes Logo, Sparks Melee

And group has no intention of ceasing its use: rep

(NEWSER) - The VFW is stirring up quite a bit of controversy—no, not Veterans of Foreign Wars, but Veterans for Weed. In addition to co-opting the VFW acronym, the pro-marijuana-legalization group also uses a logo that looks like the POW/MIA icon, except with the soldier smoking a joint. The real VFW has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the group, and because "VFW" is copyrighted, the tokers may have to comply with the acronym part. But it has no intention of ditching its controversial logo, Military Times reports. More»
