Will being V.A. Loan eligible help with financing?

Hi to every one, hope you all are having a great day.

I am wondering if having V.A. benefits will help a person procure the financing for purchasing a Tractor and possibly a trailer to start up as an independent contractor going over the road.
Also, if the V.A. benefits will help with a business loan, would it also apply to the Leasing programs. From what I am learning, Leasing may be a better way to go since the entire lease payments are tax-deductible. I understand that on purchase financing, only the depreciation of the truck is tax deductible. This leads me to another question that maybe some of you can help me with- what is the difference on taxes paid between being an Owner-Operator with an outright purchase financed tractor versus being an Owner-Operator with a Lease-financed tractor? All information would be greatly appreciated.

VA bene's wont do you any good
BUT since you are eligable for them, im gonna assume your a vet.

if thats the case, you are eligable for a PATRIOT EXPRESS loan garentee (like the VA home loan, but for a business) thru the SBA (small business ###.)

they will garentee up to 85% of your small business loan.....check them out
