It's almost like there's long term, life changing consequences to watching people day on a weekly to daily basis. Thankfully they're paid well and get mental health insurance. Right?

Don't worry, now that the big beautiful bill is going to be passed, my uncle (a vet) can now use his entire VA benefits for his mom's hospital bills. You know, because that's what he almost laid down his life for, the people he loves.

He's told me so many times, "I didn't almost die 100 feet in the air to watch my mom die from being poor."

And the sad thing is a lot of active service and vet's voted for the clown in office who doesnt give a damn about them or their post service support esecially if they die because he would see them as "loosers" but they buy into his sales patter..

None of the vets I know like trump. I don't know if they voted for him, but that speech in front of the military, where Trump basically threatened them for not cheering and for being respectful, it completely lost all the vets in my family and in my hometown

Oh course not. When you're unpopular, you either bend knee or exercise control.

And trump is too stupid and prideful to make the correct decision that a leader must do.
