Honestly, I think the plan is to hasten the deaths of anyone who is old enough to remember the Civil Rights Movement, World War II, the actions that came out of the Vietnam War, etc. They don’t want to pay for SSDI, or return the money we invested in Social Security; so they are just going to raise the price of healthy food, medical care and prescriptions and then just let us all die.
Yup. 62 yo vet here with 38+ years and 70% disability. I’m preparing to have no VA health support and losing my disability pay. Same with Social Security. These changes and cuts will hurt those with limited resources the most who were promised support and care after signing a blank check.
After one looks at the numbers, the percentages, and the cuts, what stands out to me, is that this regime has no soul. We never hear about caring, providing and listening. Call me a softie, but most programs are put in place to help, to connect and to make life easier, especially for those who served. We will have lost the soul of our existence if we stop emotionally caring.
💙✨🕯️🗽⏰🇺🇸 Everyone, PLEASE help us Harris/Walz voters fight back: It appears Kamala did win! Please see & help Election Truth Alliance & see their URGENT update: https://youtu.be/yhz5kePQhEs?si=1_MbSWeKWBiUYPyU . Trump, Musk & Putin, of course, very likely WIDELY CHEATED in our election. Please pitch in any amount like I did for their crucial 2-week sprint of lawsuits & more targeted audits & tell them their new follower Janette is referring people as a volunteer to help. We the People elected President Harris & my MN Governor Tim Walz for VP. We must give them the proof so they will believe it & act with others! ETA (Election Truth Alliance) has an FAQ & is also now on Facebook & Bluesky if you search their full name. Thanks!
I just heard a veteran that lost his job say, at a forum held in Arizona by the Attorney Generals from Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Minnesota - "this is the most Anti-Veteran administration in history". Let that sink in - courtesy of the DOGE boys, Musk, Trump, his administration, and the Project 2025 Republicans in America. I wonder what all the veterans in America and those on active duty feel about what is happening to them thanks to the DOGE boys, Musk, Trump, his administration, and the Project 2025 Republicans in America?
My daughter has worked for VA for 17 years so she has served multiple presidents. The PACT Act actually gave them the ability to truly say that their mission could be carried out. All across the system, clinical spaces were sought and they could actually hire more folks in house. Still, contracts were necessary to fill many positions veterans needed in order to be appropriately cared for. I could see and hear the hope across the system believing that Congress was stepping up and honoring the very men and women who sacrificed so much to ensure our country, our homeland, remained a nation of laws, where liberty was bred into our very bones. But then the emails came! My daughter spent her time writing justifications to save positions cut in the first round. The second round of cuts came out before the deadline for justifications had even arrived. Then the busy work of accounting for five things each employee did the week before hit inboxes. The shock and awe was the terror tactic of choice and it was damaging to all stakeholders!! My daughter realized that she would need to stay on regardless of her personal fears for her family’s security because her people needed something consistent, someone to remind them that until the next ax falls, they have a mission to serve veterans with the best care they can provide. They have to remain mission focused. The tears shed among these devoted people are heart wrenching as they know that some of their patients may no longer have access to life sustaining treatments. Veterans themselves, including disabled vets, are being cut with no thought to their double services to our country. One amazing veteran VA leader wrote an incredible “busy work” response that articulated his abject disagreement with the powers that be. His dignity will be lost on them! VA administrators can’t even properly prepare their folks for news since it is posted to Xwitter or FB first, with crudeness and condescension, prior to an “official” discourteous and abrupt email notification from their secretary or OPM. The morale couldn’t be worse; still, these amazing people in both parties, are determined to carry out the mission until they are terminated. Someone, no one really knows who, will be handing down a reorganization and reduction plan soon. One wonders what data will be used to make such decisions if any at all.
Sad to read this. Yet my sense is that a majority of vets were big MAGA people and continue to be so. Still waiting to see some political fallout from the save the Billionaires policy now being implemented.

The "let us ALL die" is certainly the goal of this FASCIST trump/musk OUTFIT which is now the law (DICKTATED) of our land.
