You're right, it's not that easy. I worked in the VA system for three years during residency, and it was relatively rare to see a veteran who was considered 100% service connected. I had a patient who was exposed to Agent Orange and later developed Hodgkin lymphoma, and while the cancer was treated successfully, the surgery and radiation left him with permanent disabilities that impaired his day to day life. Even he was not determined to be 100% service connected. (He came close - something like 80% if I remember correctly - but not 100%.)

I personally never saw someone who was determined to be 100% service connected purely for PTSD, but I am also not a psychiatrist so it's possible that there is a selection bias there.

These professionals are trained in the halls that brought us the biggest replication crisis ever.

And we have collected data on humanity for 20 years in Google and FB. If science goes were the data is, the true neuro-science/psychology today is proprietary and sold in chunks as a service to governments.

Might aswell ask Palantir directly about what humanity is really like without the grand illusions of a surplus of resources spend on postponing the eternal crisis that is our home.

No need to take Freuds last standing followers serious, just because they perpetuate a "Can-do-fix-all-things" illusion, we cling to while drowning in the things we can't fix.

And even if they did slip through at a higher rate. The answer wouldn't be to make it abitrarily harder to claim, because real people with real issues would inevitably be hurt.

If the system had 0% fraud rates, then it kind of implies that many real people have been denied because they failed to jump through the hoops.
