I don't know where you got your information about trauma victims from combat action not receiving benefits but if you go to VA, you'll find out that they have a separate VA benefits book for injured/maimed/PTSD/TBI(traumatic brain injury) military personnel. They are covered and get disability benefits. Depending on their injuries, they can also be medically retired. Once they are medically retired, they get their full benefits every month. I have personally seen/known guys/friends from the war who are getting 100% disability benefits and had been medically retired from the service.

Like I said earlier, I'd rather be healthy and not get anything instead of getting something for something like this.
