Crazy fucks going to be bringing guns all over the place now. Terrible idea.

The idea that you can bribe your way out of the security theater in airports is disgusting.

TSA Precheck is legalized bribery.

Jeez what a low bar. They are giving them an $85 benefit -- and they are FUCKING DISABLED (meaning their level of travel is far lower than able bodied people -- rather than working towards healthcare.
What a fucking joke.

Not necessarily. Not all 100% disabled are really disabled like that. You can be disabled on an inability to actually work, and then also by accumulating enough issues to meet a point requirement.

How many vets are flying that this even fucking matters?!?

About 300000 per the article

Touché but I doubt all of them will apply, so this hardly helps all of them.
Talk about low hanging fruit.

Oh yeah, it's BS so dems can show they really care about vets, but doing the right thing just to make yourself look good is better than doing nothing IMO.

Tammy Duckworth doesn't' care about vets? LOL

I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but these people need healthcare and affordable housing before they need faster lines at the airport.

How about fucking health care?
All the veterans that this applies to (blind, amputees, and wheelchair bound) are already eligible for healthcare at the VA.
Is their enough good service provide in a timely manner?
Once you're "in the system" as it were, the wait to get care isn't bad at all. It's just a long wait if you are a new patient.
Of course not. It's run by the federal government so it's wildly incompetent and has been for decades. Yet, for some reason people want everyone to have the federal government involved in their healthcare. Mindblowing.
Do you yourself use VA care? Because I do and it is fantastic!
I'm satisfied with my care there.
The American system of healthcare is one of the most expensive and inefficient in the world.
The VA is what happens when you allow people who think that “government should be small enough to be drowned in a bathtub, profit is a moral imperative, and money is free speech run government departments. The USA is essentially the only country to not provide universal healthcare. poll the people in those countries that do to see how many would want trade their system for America’s
what about Mental healthcare
Anyone that qualifies for VA healthcare can get mental as well (but they might pay copays).
