I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

a 2 tier military isn't realistic. We need to do our very best for our injured, but the current option isn't sustainable.
As I said above, it used to be an option when numbers were lower. Without that approach we would have been denied people such as Cyclops Brown or Gus Walker or my first stn cdr (can't remember his name) or at least one ex-pilot retrained as a nav and a nav both of who lost eyes in bird-strikes.

If they are discharged then there should be no quibbling over compensation.
