It depends what you mean by universal healthcare- but also generally the US pays much better. And at least in the area I used to live the VA wasn’t bad.
The US may pay well in terms of gross pay, but the real wages (spending power) and social supports are significantly weaker than in most other developed countries.
You mentioned it bro, not me. I’d guess America also treats its military members like second class citizens, pretty common to see stories of the VA leaving soldiers high and dry after quite literally using their bodies to fuel imperialism.
Unfortunately if they are US service personnel this would not be hard to believe at all.
Why only US?
Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.
That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad
Most countries that don’t have universal health care, you mean.

In terms of social supports for specifically soldiers idk in general, but I know that’s not true for st least one NATO & EU state
Hate to break it to you but the US is last in OECD nations regarding universal healthcare and I can’t believe I have to explain that
Yeah but we aren’t talking about universal healthcare. We are talking about specifically veterans and current soldiers
