>Soldiers get generous benefits
Soldiers get dick into ass, to quote our russian friends.
VA hospitals are a meme.
Civilian people often don't give a shit about military work experience (even when it obviously makes sense and has value) and instead choose clueless retards without experience instead.
>the issue is more so that in peacetime that military service primary appeals to people with limited economic prospects
Not really, the biggest issue is the sudden change of the life. You had people whipped into a specific life style during their service and then instantly eject them into "anarchy". Similar shit happened with post-USSR countries after 1991 where like half of the population couldn't do anything because they've lived their lives with the state telling them what to do and now suddenly they themselves have to figure things out, so they become limp like puppets with their strings cut off. People going to jobs where their salary isn't paid by years (that's right) was just one shining example of this.
>Middle class and above people don't buy stolen goods.
1. They do, it's just that often they buy different classes of stolen goods.
2. You are confusing social income levels with cultural and moral upbringing, there's plenty of people who are well off income wise, but will easily buy stolen stuff to save a buck, just because they view that as being thrifty.
>I'm sure there's issues but without all of the stipulations and requirements the programs would be subject to massive amounts of fraud
That's the thing, stuff is designed by retards, any attempt to combat fraud when done by retards (which is 9 times out of 10) will only target normal people and just generate false positive bullshit. Which happens in most cases, even in private sector. It takes actual skills and adaptability to design processes and rules which:
a) don't treat people are criminals and scammers by default;
b) are usable;
c) don't become a hell hole riddled with scammers;
