Presumably other countries actually give a fuck about helping their soldiers.
That is a false presumption. Overall compared to most countries the VA is not bad
Most countries that don't have universal health care, you mean.
It depends what you mean by universal healthcare- but also generally the US pays much better. And at least in the area I used to live the VA wasn't bad.
The US may pay well in terms of gross pay, but the real wages (spending power) and social supports are significantly weaker than in most other developed countries.
In terms of social supports for specifically soldiers idk in general, but I know that's not true for st least one NATO & EU state
