    Are you just repeating things you’ve heard from the Vietnam era? I have been fully in the military health care system in Washington DC, Portland Oregon, Reno Nevada, Los Angeles California, and it has all been excellent state-of-the-art care.

      Not at all. I’ve talked with a few friends and acquaintences in Virginia and Florida who very much complain about the woeful state of military healthcare, in addition to seeing the complaints show up here and there on military reddits.

      It’s not entirely anecdotal, though. There are known staff shortages at the moment, although it seems to have been going for a while.
