11. Vets have been getting unnecessary cosmetic surgery for many years-
with the explanation that the VA docs perform the procedures to stay in practice or in training so they will be proficient in reconstructive surgery.
A Vietnam vet friend of mine told me years ago that they offered to pin his ears back (he is a handsome guy but has jug ears that kind of stick out and he gets kidded about his ears) but he declined saying that he had gotten along all his life with his ears and he felt uncomfortable that he could be a guinea pig for a surgeon in training.
