I know someone who is 100% disabled and works a full time job. That job sucks, frankly. People look down on him for working in customer service, but his body is too broken to enter the trades, and his mental health is too poor to attend college (even though it would be free through the GI bill). I don't even think he needs the money, he just wants to be "normal" and he doesn't mind the work. He and his wife do not live lives of luxury and their kids seem happy.
He would not be able to support his family on this low-paid job he has. His wife also works.
Perhaps the problem isn't disabled vets getting paid, maybe the problem is that we keep sending them out to die for oil. Maybe the problem is that life in America is hard for anyone who isn't in the top 10%.
