The Pentagon's military hospitals (Army, Navy and Air Force) and military health care benefits have been slashed for decades upon decades. So bad in fact, that the Pentagon relied upon US Department of Veterans' Affairs hospitals http://www.polytrauma.va.gov/system-of-care/care-facilities/ to provide care for many US active duty wounded and injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
The VA hospitals rapidly responded, such as the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital http://www2.wsav.com/news/2010/oct/28/road-back-wounded-savannah-soldiers-journey-ar-1024851/ in Tampa, Florida.
Going back, read General Thrasher's Chapter TROA (MOAA) http://www.moaa.org/ letter on military benefits from over a half century ago. Go http://www.pentagonmaverick.com/ and click on his letter. Also go to Floyd Sears at http://mrgrg-ms.org/ and Colonel Bud Day at http://www.tricare.mil/pressroom/news.aspx?fid=130 and http://www.cmohs.org/recipient-detail/3257/day-george-e.php.
Okay, want free Military Medical Care again, as we had and as were promised?
You may have to join the Army in India. "All retired Indian Armed Forces veterans and their families as well as the families of deceased Armed Forces servicemen, are entitled to free treatment at the nearest Armed Forces medical center." See http://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimple.aspx?MnId=U9ew+Nvp/XFcmv+uyILFcg==&ParentID=vwX4DYa4aum6Qqt86TQlIw==.
