No.

Not sure how it works, but one of my little brothers did a few years
in the Army in the early '70's. Germany mostly.
He got sick with Hep C and ended up in the VA hospital north of
Chicago. Visited him there.
Don't know how that worked. He was down and out.

If he had a service connected disability, then he is entitled to more than
one who just served for a couple years during a war or during peacetime.
