June 6, 2025"On Friday afternoon, thousands of veterans who fought wars on behalf of the United States descended on the National Mall in Washington, DC, to fight something else: cuts proposed by the Trump administration.
Since his inauguration in January, President Donald Trump has moved to slash and burn the federal workforce—and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is no exception. Already, the sprawling agency serving America’s 16 million military veterans has fired 2,400 probationary workers and proposed eliminating an additional 15 percent of its workforce—about 80,000 people.">

I wonder how many voted for Trump.
They fought for oil companies, decimating the countries they invaded. I don’t have a ton of sympathy that signing up to murder brown people didn’t pay off as they expected.
