    Why America misunderstands veteran disabilities
    Dec 8 2025
    Are veterans gaming the system—or finally getting what they’re owed for the toll of service? On this episode of Warrior Money, Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze unpack the “broken veteran” narrative, respond to fraud claims around VA disability benefits, and explain why “if they broke you, they bought you” is a contract, not a scam. They dig into how misperceptions about wounded vets collide with the reality of long-term physical and mental wear, veterans’ $250 billion in economic firepower, and the rise of an “operator economy” built on military leadership skills. The hosts also share practical guidance on documenting injuries, protecting yourself from predatory claims services, and reframing veterans as civic assets—not victims.
