The problem with the VA is the quality of care seems to vary greatly by facility, and until maybe 4-5 years ago, the VA was essentially structured to give care to some very aged WW2/Korea veterans (and relatively indigent Vietnam veterans (i.e. not even most of them) who could claim service-related disability.) I'm not sure if that was due to resource constraints or what.
Post Iraq/Afghanistan returnees with service-related disabilities (TBI, amputations, etc.), I think VA has gotten more resources and is now treating a younger/healthier patient population. It also cooperates a lot more with DOD active-duty care than it used to.
