There's no contradiction here. The US military exists to preserve and extend capitalism. Taking care of veterans would be socialist. Being abandoned by the state, as soon as you no longer serve a purpose for generating profit, is the best way to say thank you. It shows that everything you fought for is successful and working better than ever!

Meanwhile, the suckers and loose...err soldiers get the healthcare and support that they deny the average citizen.

Stop soldiering and they take it away.
