Trump is waging war on veterans all while cashing in and calling them "suckers and losers" behind closed doors.
Nearly a fifth of VA jobs targeted for elimination. Frontline care crippled. Wait times explode. Veterans left behind.
VASP terminated. 17,000+ veterans ambushed and at risk of losing their homes.
Project 2025 a tactical strike on disability benefits. Claims slashed. Denials surge. Wounds ignored. Veterans left to bleed.
Veteran support programs casualties of war. AmeriCorps gunned down. Meals on Wheels gutted. Federal hiring freezes keeping hardworking veterans from continuing their service to country.
This isn't making America great again. Its scorched earth. It's treasonous.
Veterans deserve better than betrayal from their own Commander in Chief.

I agree with you ProfessorGAC. I just got lazy when posting. I should have put "warrior" in quotes

I wouldn't mind honoring people for defending us if that's what they were actually doing.

All those fans that love seeing the huge flag carried onto the field should read the Code of Flag Ethics.
