I can answer that question, because, first of all, the U.S. has a marvellous system. They're so large that when an individual retires or gets out of the service, he or she has a base near wherever they're going to retire, which provides everything: the continuance of use of the commissary, and of dental and medical care for the veteran and his or her family. Of course, they're a much larger organization; they have veterans hospitals all over the place and so forth. The U.S. system is much more comprehensive than ours. We're peanuts compared to what the VA does in the United States, and I think it's similar too.
I'm trying to think of people I've talked to...the Australians during the Beirut wars; they were well taken care of. We had an incident in southern Lebanon where one of our majors hit a landmine, and he still has psychological and physical problems to this day. But his New Zealand patrol mate, a young captain, was decapitated, and he had a wife and three kids. From my understanding, the benefits—I can't get into the details, and I'm talking the late 1950s—were very comprehensive. So they take care of their own, at least in New Zealand and Australia.
Most of those from the Scandinavian countries, whom I served with as military observers, were reservists. Back to your point, I don't know how they were taken care of. They're taken on for six months—the Swedish school teachers, Norwegian ski instructors, and so forth—given a uniform, and they go and do their job. Then they go back to something, but I don't know how they're covered. I can't really answer that question either.
