Does anyone know if it is even possible to get your VA loan without having a credit card?

I've never had a credit card, I don't want one, and I find it insulting that my hard earned benefits are being withheld from me because I won't conform and go into debt.

You seem to be talking about two different things. The certificate from the VA is not a loan. The loan comes from a financial institution. You take the certificate to the place you are are planning to get the loan. You dont need a credit card to obtain the certificate. The loan may depend on your credit rating.

Why do you have to do into debt with a CC? I use a CC (Freedom by Chase) to make almost ALL my purchases because I get at least 1% back (5% on various purchases). I pay off the balance each month - and I earn about $1000 or more in a 12 mo period - no debt.

If you wish to obtain a loan and don't have an established credit history, then obtaining said loan may be difficult down the road for you. Apply for a card, and use it for small things like gas and groceries. Pay those bills. Boom, instant credit history.
