Not so much comparing apples to apples is it?
People volunteer with the explicit belief they will taken care of if they are injured mentally or physically. They expect to be labeled "non-deployable" if they are not in fit condition to continue in combat positions. We promise them that. They don't think we will fuck them when we want to cut the budget. They really should know better, I guess.
