This is actually a myth. Even people without brains can get a traumatic brain injury if the injured brain is inserted into their body during the incident.

I'll admit that at this point I would almost think Barlow was doing a bit if the rest of her account and publication history wasn't completely dedicated to proving that, no, she is absolutely Like That and is dedicated to earning her Fartlow nickname as hard as possible. Being immersed in fascism 24/7 absolutely does things to brains.

Not if Israel's economy collapses. If that happens I bet we'll see the same thing as what's happening in Ukraine, with family members running GoFundMes to try to provide for the soldiers who got discharged with 'non-combat' shrapnel injuries.

I was actually trying to parse the Foundation and Unit for Discharged Soldiers and Rehabilitation Department, because it kind of seems like Israel is already like that. It's possible that it's just because they put the bare bones info in English and they actually have well documented and guaranteed veterans benefits, explained in Hebrew.

"As Israel's leading institution supporting the country's veterans, the Fund provides financial grants and a financial deposit, benefits geared toward assisting the veterans in completing their studies and higher education, as well as vocational training and professional guidance.

The Fund is committed to reaching as many of the country's discharged soldiers and service members as possible, informing them of their rights and benefits available to them, and helping them reintegrate into civilian life."

Is a bit wishy washier than I would expect from a country perpetually at war.

and "The department's mission is to assist Israel's disabled and/or injured veterans in their journies to recovery and return to civilian life. This is accomplished by providing veterans with effective social services and financial support.

The rehabilitation process may be both long and challenging. To account for this, department activities are executed by a multi-disciplinary team using a holistic approach to medical, social, employment, and welfare services. Each team is led by a portfolio manager who is responsible for an individual veteran and works with professionals from relevant fields."

Seems like they don't flatly grant befits but you have to access everything through a case manager. If their case managers are swamped, say by an unexpectedly destructive war, people are going to be waiting for programs and benefits for years.

I feel like you would just say "The fund is committed to reaching every discharged soldier" unless its been legally demonstrated several times that you don't even come close to reaching everyone.

Well they tried it for 8+ years. It doesn't really work; they've basically lost that war and the conflict is mostly frozen now.
