They need to have a hearing between the vets and VA administrators to determine how to get into the system without constantly being harassed.
I agree most veterans do not have god-complexes. But I am pointing out that it only takes a few bad apples to throw an underfunded, overtaxed system out of whack.
Lots of good, good people are having their lives diminished because the leadership can't seem to give them the priority they deserve. Maybe it has something to do with an organization that puts too much emphasis on a chain of command? Once retired, injured vets should have the same status regardless of position. No one should feel like they have to pull rank. But that kind of thing does happen.
I see it way too often in our residential communities. Retired officers who take in hefty pensions, don't think it's enough. And I don't fault them for the money they receive. I fault them because they seem to want to manifest their positions in ways that are not civilly acceptable. Most of the ones that I have encountered are closely aligned with the Republican party. I don't think that's an coincidence.
