gsuitter: I understand your point completely. But just imagine, if our vets did not receive ANY care at all - zilch! after their service. The system is by no means perfect, but imagine if it were not in place at all. People would not even receive the BARE minimum, not even that! Govt -run healthcare CAN work, IF it involves co-operation between tax-payer funded care, non-profit, and private insurance for optional services. It works great in France + other countries. It's not communism :)
In every military there's high percentages of psychopaths amongst the troops.
Psychopaths can't think of having problems with killing and atrocities.
Missing empathy, they can't feel own or inflicted pain.
Hence no need for treating.

250,000 THOUSAND Vets are homeless that's what I've heard but even if its 1 homeless vet the country that those veterans fought for isn't worth saving - "No Honor"
Q: Why Is It Only A Fraction Of The Soldiers Diagnosed With PTSD Are Receiving Treatment?
A: Because treating all of them costs money.
The Military Industrial Complex is only concerned with sending soldiers to war. They could'nt care less about what happens to them when they come home.
ZedAlfa273: exactly. After 30 years, some vets are finally receiving care in terms of the Agent Orange effect, due to major lawsuits from vet groups and other concerned citizens. War is a racket...always has been, and always will be. Meanwhile, current vets will be struggling with other issues, such a depleted uraninium munitions and so on, which will not be addressed for years. Not to mention PTSD.
That's government run health care for you. Government run health care for everyone!!! NOT.
