Ive been fighting the VA for over 27 years and I feel I am caught in the circle of delay and deny wait till the vet dies.(what a sin), i really find it hard to believe that veterans will not help other veterans. as mentioned in the other listings , the veterans dont want to help each other like when we were faced with the enemy. they believe they will be the subject of investigations and harassmeent from uncle sugar. i really believe that if they remember and tell the truth what could happen. it is hard enough showing the world the horrors of war but to have a brother vet turn away another vet in need is even more worse.ive searched everywhere possible and could only find one guy that was in my unit, he was very glad to send pics but when it comes to saying something so simple as i remember he cowards out. isnt it bad enough we have to fight a goverment for our benifits aside from begging a lost friend and fellow veteran for the truth. it makes me sick

I share your amazement over vets not helping vets. In the last year I have traced down several dozen who served with me. I asked each of them to sign a simple truthful statement to help me with the VA, out of 37, only 9 were willing to sign a statement or help in any way. I did not pursue the "why" of that, each probably have their own reasons. The one that bothered me most was a Captain I worked directly for, claims he cannot remember anything of that year besides having been relieved of his command when there were race problems in his unit.
Personally, I would feel honored to assist a fellow vet with his claim, and have in fact got two an award for PTSD by my supporting statement, according to their VSO's.
I remain baffled.
