Object.  If that doesn't work, wait for the medical exam.  If by some bizarre chance I don't fail that, flee to Canada.

dead0, you obviously know better about this than most of us, so maybe you can answer this: why is it, then, that there are countless veterans living on the streets and why do twenty die by suicide every day?

No, it wasn't a "gotcha" question.  I've read some on the subject, but I never really heard any ideas or alternatives from someone who is a veteran or has any first-hand experience with the VA.

It's very unfortunate how the system has failed so many veterans in this country.  Even some private charities (or, at least, the Wounded Warrior Project comes to mind) do, in fact, very little to help the people they purport to serve.  (And this also partly informs my own foreign policy views, on which I view war as an absolute last resort and troops-on-the-ground acceptable under very narrow circumstances.)

Find the papers that prove my Asperger's diagnosis.

Haha, glad I never got diagnosed with any of that stuff as I know it's an insta-disqualifier in the military.  I've always had considered the military as a backup in case I don't get a job out of college.  Would be a shame if it weren't available to me.

Asperger's is an instant disqualifier, really?  Yeah, the military wouldn't touch me with a ten-foot pole.  I'd think it would be a lot more suspect to trust a person with clinical depression with a military rifle, though.
