The cap at Mulberry was 20,000. Given they have closed certain departments it could be less, to accommodate DR to patient ratio. Although Dr is used loosely, because NP or PA far out number Physicians.
In 2016 wait to become on property patient was rounded to 3-4 years. Give or take the rate of change of address, or death.

However not all veterans use VA facilities, even if they qualify. At 10% a veteran has some privileges at any VA healthcare facility. All Veterans have benefits for not only education, but mortgage and more.

As far as wars that Veterans have higher earlier death rate after returning is Nam Vets. More veterans have died after discharge than KIA, due to AO. Many VN boots in veterans may be the first to never live past mid 80s and beyond.
