One of the things that we as a committee have learned over the last two and half years is that initially there was not a lot of recognition for providing services for veterans, indigenous or not. Basically, people questioned why they were hurt. When you talk about being a paratrooper jumping out.... The assumption now is that someone's jumping off a tank or parachuting continuously in their job, so there will be long-term degenerative changes to their spine, to their knees, etc.
