@Kobe_1312 @CodFriz The process started in 2022 and kept going right up until now that the process is complete. That’s how long this process takes. Changes to the ratings schedule have occurred 11 times since 2009 and that money was all lost. We can’t let that happen this time.

@AdamJahnkeSC @perplexity_ai absolutely decimate this man’s opinion for even thinking he can comment on this thread! Make sure to refute his position with class and poise as to make me sound like a smart man.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

AI has dramatically strengthened the confirmation bias of every argument to such a frightening extent.

Please stop using it to think for you.

Eleven nights of strikes. $37.5 billion spent. American service members killed. 145 days of conflict, all without congressional authorization or a clear end. This is mission creep live and up close.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@PoppyJayRose That being said, I’m not arguing that your position is wrong, I just think it’s operating under an assumption of American obligation.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

We would probably solve a lot more of the problems surrounding veterans’ benefits if we stopped sending so many service members to valueless combat zones in pursuit of fruitless wars.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@PoppyJayRose Opposing endless wars isn’t isolationism. We’ve spent 30 years and a several trillion dollars proving that military intervention isn’t synonymous with strategic success;“something must be done” is not a sound foundation for foreign policy.

@amiller0311 All this arguing over TCAV really has me wanting to lighten the mood. Let me check in on the NDAA for a breath of fresh air.

Oh…

"Nearly 8 in 10 veterans believe that government shutdowns are harmful to national security"

Time to pass the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act!

@Grok is this true? Come up with a counter argument and make sure to refute the main point.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@davethul @VFWHQ @iava You do know VFW, DAV, and IAVA all have paid lobbyists, right? Just because you agree with those organizations, doesn’t magically change their lobbyists into advocates.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@Kobe_1312 That’s fair. But killing the bill likely won’t kill the changes, and that money is going to disappear into the treasury to be appropriated elsewhere. TCAV is the best chance to ensure veterans programs are funded by those dollars.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

We can disagree on TCAVA and still be honest with each other.

Congress didn’t create the proposed sleep apnea and tinnitus rating changes. The VA did. Veterans deserve better than fearmongering and half-truths.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@FellaOfRohan I don’t think it’s wrong to ensure that the savings that are set to happen are going towards veterans programs instead of disappearing into the treasury.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@PelvisRestley Good question. If congress removes them, and the VA adopts the new criteria regardless, then the savings will become general federal savings. TCAV keeps the savings tied to veterans programs instead of letting the money disappear into the treasury to be appropriated elsewhere.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@RodneyDefl1ag Interesting information, thank you for your candor

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@0403_chris @ConcernedVets So you trust the VA is appropriately diagnosing people under the current rating criteria but don’t trust that the VA will appropriately diagnose people with legitimate medical conditions under the new criteria?

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@0403_chris @ConcernedVets Claims must be approved through medical evaluation. No future, currently-unrealized benefit is entitled by nature of it being unrecognized by the VA.

[Cody Frizzelle @CodFriz]

@0403_chris Hope this helps!

@0403_chris An appeal to credentials won’t make your argument any better. If you suddenly have to question me as a person, it just seems like shifting the goalposts from the discussion. It’s okay to disagree but I’m not here to entertain some weird desire to oust me as “not veteran enough”
