Back to the original post, the only thing that I consider "legitimate" is a veteran who was disabled in combat fighting for this country.

On another topic, honestly, that's the only disability that I think that the state should have to pay for...period. Everybody else is just a drain on resources with no corresponding benefit to society. Oftentimes, I do wish that we lived in more of a spartan society where babies with defects were immediately "taken care of" so that they didn't drain the resources of society throughout their entire lifetimes.

But...that's another topic. Back to the original post, there's a good example.
