Is this the same free lifetime healthcare that other vets get that involves frequent denials and years long waiting lists to get treatment?

The US is pretty terrible to their armed forces - but they're quite nice to the R&D side of the military, because that's the side that's in competition with private industry.

There's no free lifetime healthcare.

It's less expensive than private health care, but it's not free, and it doesn't cover everything, and it's standard government run bullshit. And it goes away as soon as you become medicare eligible and you have to go on medicare.
