In a world obsessed with numbers, this video asks the question: Who’s really counting? Are those employment figures accurate, or are they manipulated to fit a convenient narrative?

Through candid storytelling, frustration, and humor, this episode aims to shed light on the resilience of veterans who continue to adapt, persevere, and redefine what success looks like after military service. Whether working full-time, part-time, or not at all, every veteran’s decision deserves respect, understanding, and support—not judgment. Key Takeaways Veterans with disabilities face significant and unique challenges in employment. There’s an ongoing debate about whether veterans should or need to work.

Real-world experiences matter more than theoretical research or policy papers. The job market can be dismissive or biased toward veterans with disabilities. Disability ratings can limit career options and earning potential. Veterans should never be shamed for how they choose to live or work. Supportive communities and employers make a difference. Resilience and adaptability define veterans’ post-service success. Sound Bites “Life shouldn’t be defined by your work.” “Forget the studies.
