Made harder by the Country who don't Demand they have to Sacrifice anything as to, especially, the Wars they send the few who serve into in the name of Defending the Country. To often wars of choice not need, thus underfunding it's responsibility, the Veterans Administration.

November 19, 2012 - More than half of America’s veterans say they have little or no understanding of the benefits due them, despite efforts over recent years to match returning soldiers with the help and services they need.
