I’m a veteran and I support the cutback in the workforce. I e noticed at the va hospital that there are not just federal police, but a huge number of security guards left over from Covid, and they do nothing. It’s a jobs program. Those vets don’t represent me. The VFW keeps asking for me to sign a petition and I’m not doing it. We are $36 trillion in debt and we are running $2 trillion over the budget every year. The interest on the debt is $1 trillion every year, which puts it ahead of defense spending as one of the biggest outlays of money. I don’t hear the VA complaining about that even though they know that interest payments that high mean veterans services will eventually get cut. The leadership of the vfw are all lefties anyways and I have moved away from that position. Sometimes you sacrifice for your country more than once. I’m worried about the country we are leaving these young folks. We owe it to them to right this ship.

Veterans? Or paid protesters and union thugs?

Wow, 2019 levels? How horrible.

Something tells me there'd be no impact to service, or, if anything, service would get better.

We should really nix the VA completely and give anyone injured during service vouchers for life.

Then, stop fighting everybody else's wars.
