Bah. Just TRY getting treatment at a VA hospital. I did. I am entitled to those lifetime benefits at a VA hospital. It took me eight months just to get an appt to SEE a doctor. Tests would have taken longer had I not kept meticulous records ten years ago. One can die of old age before being treated there. If you don't have a blue ID card, forget it. And they'll tell you so right at the Admissions desk too.
VA loans. Okay, I give you this one. ANY veteran can borrow money, which still must be paid back with interest, albeit lower interest than the general pubic pays to a bank or mortgage company. Nothing is guaranteed however. You still have to qualify and repay. And there are restrictions on the size of the loan too. No multi-million dollar mansions...I'll have to look up the size limit for you. It's something like $235,000 maximum.
