"He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." - Trump
Medal of Freedom is "much better" than the Medal of Honor, noting that recipients of the latter are often "in very bad shape... or they're dead." - Trump
Has he told Congress this? Has he gone to speak at his local town meeting? Has he gone to speak at his VFA and Fraternal Order of Eagles and American Legion Post and etc?
Ok but Trump burning his constituency and throwing them to the curb will help turn the tide, instead of saying I told ya so instead encourage class consciousness
That doesn't mean you should cheer at this cruelty. It's an opportunity to help someone in need and show them you're the better person, that is if you are.
Who’s cheering? There’s no cheer around here but it is hard to have sympathy for someone who actually voted for a felon when the non complicit will have to suffer also because of their bad decisions.
Republicans do not support our vets. I hope that anyone thinking of joining the military doesn’t do so. No one should apply to military academies. If people have xtra money- donate to veteran organizations. The country needs to show tRump et al that actions have consequences.
I hope though that those in the military and all vets see that they don’t matter to them and change their support. To quote a great poet..”“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all.” Holding on to something!!
Military folk have long been staunchly pro-GOP, which they saw as pro-defense and pro-guns. Now they see Trump in cahoots with Putin.
They'll need a big reboot of their biases, but losing jobs and benefits has an amazing way of refocusing the mind.
Let’s hope it can break through! I think Rubio saying that his talks about Ukraine are more about economic partnership with Putin and not about democracy and defending our allies should show the admin’s true colors! Pro Russia is a hard sell to the military!!
If Putin drops dead and somehow Russia emerges under free leadership and a democracy, I'm supportive of economic partnership. That country has so much potential.
But what they really mean is Putin and Trump dividing up the spoils.
I hate all the layoffs. Period. What infuriates me about this is this man’s thinking that his veteran status would protect him from layoff. “Ok if it impacts THEM [choose your group], but I’m special so I really don’t care about others.”
Your excellent article has generated serious interest in individual stories. Such important reporting. You and others are helping people to see individuals, not just numbers.
Disgusting! Meanwhile, illegal alien musk skipped out a mandatory service in South Africa, went to college in Canada bc his mother was Canadian. Never served a day in his life in the Armed Forces and he has the gall to be firing vets! This is got to stop.
Frankly, the next thing DOGE and their Republican collaborators will do away with will be the GI Bill. Because, you know, military veterans getting an education is an unnecessary government expense.
this is the easiest possible argument for the Timid Dems: Musk & Co. totally screwed a veteran doing public service work for other veterans following his extended military tours, with a family to support. if they can't bang the hell out of this drum, it's because they don't want to.
They are 100% targeting disabled, or “DEI” employees. That would be a superb story to cover. Also, if there is no documentation on performance issues, that’s wrongful termination and potentially discriminatory paired with the targeting. “At will” is not a simple as people think is is.
I can think of another regime that targeted disabled and DEI folks out of jobs, then out of the public eye until they all gone. The horror of knowing where this has lead before and marching directly in that same direction 🤦🏻♀️
I wonder what my MAGA sister will say when she finds out that they have fired the person who was reviewing her husband's claim for an increase in his disability.
Only good thing about these firings is that people who voted for him are getting fired too b/c he doesn’t give a crap about them either. Shocking!Maybe they’ll reconsider how great he is for America & for them in particular. Tough lesson & sadly others have to suffer for their poor voting choices

DOGE is not about "efficiency", it is simply purging everyone from civil service, so that staffing can be outsourced to firms "loyal" to Musk, Tmurp, et al.

Does it fucking matter? He needs help, not kicked while he's down. Left, right, neither side matters when both a left vote and a right vote come from people who WILL be killed in the wellness farms (read: DEATH CAMPS)
Reading the last paragraph I say $5 he voted for Trump. I am sorry for this kids, but my sympathy for him is extremely limited. He's upset not because of Trump's actions, but because he thought he would be immune to the consequences.
because these guys aren't smart enough to know what "probation" means in a government ob. They think anyone classified as probationary, must be there for poor performance.
Get these people in front of cameras. Have them talk about what did they did in the gov’t, what services will be lost or slower and then have them talk about how this will affect them personally
They no longer have to pretend to care. Just axe everything and call anyone who depended on it 'parasites' while their idiot base, who are also being fired and ruined, cheer it on.
And who will be the first to shout out that their benefits aren’t being paid on time because the VA doesn’t have enough/any staff. Imaging how much musk could ‘save’ if he just dismantled the VA in totality.
Just sickening. They have no regard for the people they are affecting, while they sit in their comfy chairs in Congress with full benefits. And fly to Mar-a-lago for important meetings, that are questionable. How much did those trips cost the taxpayers?
Yet what? 65-70% of military vote for this party. Get shit on by them year after year, decade after decade. It’s only a problem for republicans when shit actually impacts them.
Another “way to go dump” hurting real patriots! Money means so much to you and muskrat you guys can’t see the trees!! Your legacy will be the worst pres ever…felon tries to destroy America but patriots fight back and kick his ass back to rock he came from
From a foreign perspective: What does the military actually think of Musk and Trump? I realize that no one can honestly say that publicly these days - but are there any anonymous sources, friends, family?
I wish they would have looked at what Harper did to Canadian veterans - closing assistance centres, changing life-long pensions to single payments, using veteran’s private medical information to publicly discredit them if they dared to speak out. He was gone by 2015.
Hating disabled folks is pretty on par with being a nazi. And they are nazis.
I mean, Trump does not have the brain to be an "ideological" nazi : he probably can't spell lebensraum nor Führerprinzip. But he is an instinctual nazi.
He hates or despise those he thinks are "other" (black, latino, LGBT...) he despises women and treat them as objects, he hates democracy and the rule of law, he wants to invade peaceful countries and ally with the worst of the worst aggressors... There is a reason why Elon "1488" Musk joined him.
One thing that I think gets missed with military is that the people above them push the policies to junior personnel, all the way to what gets to be shown on TV in friggin hospital waiting rooms. If you haven't guessed already, it's Fox News - and you aren't allowed to change the channel. (con't)
When you have impressionable 18-22 year olds and the weather super sucks outside, and you'd rather not listen to that drivel (back then we weren't allowed to have earbuds or play with cell phones, I'm sure things have changed), you get stuck listening to it. Eventually, some of it sticks. (con't)
Alternatively, these same kids likely grew up in households were Fox News was already normalized, and if you didn't already know, military service tends to be a "family tradition." Interestingly, you'd find that the MAGAs were usually enlisted, and the college-educated officers weren't. (con't)
Until you can get Fox News out of virtually every public spot on base, that propaganda is going to stick to those enlisted personnel and they usually stay in their bubbles after leaving the service. Officers have their own circles, and I can tell you they have better things to watch than Fox News.
So you can probably tell where this is going - the key that leads to the way out is a COLLEGE EDUCATION. They meet people they're supposed to hate, get forced to work together, and are forced to confront their cognitive dissonance in college courses. But many choose to not attend college afterward.
They eat their own. Always. But good, the quicker TFG's fans see that nobody in that administration cares about regular people. And if he hasn't proven what his attitude is on Vets is then his fans are not paying attention. It's all talk.
I’m rather convinced FElon hacked voting records and is firing every single government employee who voted for Kamala because FOTUS said so. Prove me wrong.
Don't need to hack it
It's easy to get the data. In my state our AG lost in court trying to prevent a " Republican focus group" from accessing our data.
The burden of proof is from the accuser, not the accused. Maga spent the last four years making baseless claims of voter fraud with zero evidence. It's sad to see some democrat voters doing the same thing now. If there is evidence of fraud, take it to court. Otherwise, you're doing the same as them.
These stories should not be amplified without the subjects explicitly stating who they voted for. The time for sympathy was four months ago. Nothing is happening that wasn’t flagged and completely in the open. Veterans ARE DEI hires.
If we really want some of maga to wake up, it shouldn't matter. The racists & bigots will never leave Trump, but if others wake up & want to join the fight, its more power to fight with (unpopular but true). They divided us for a reason - a divided country is easier to break, as we're witnessing.
That is 💯 correct.
If the division continues to deepen, we are toast.
Musk and his merry band of billionaires will carve the country like a Christmas goose.
It's hard to accept people voting for a rapist and felon, very hard.
Some of them will get it that character matters and join the fight.
There is worse: shooting a puppy, killing 50 dogs to steal research funds, stealing all charity money from a homeless veteran's dog's cancer surgery, all things actually done by maga members. In order: noem, oz, santos)
That man took many occasions to insult our military, their families and our Country yet they voted for him. They either didn't listen to any of his speeches or they didn't believe what he said & sadly chose to vote for him anyway. Now we all pay the price for their ignorance.
They’re firing all of the Veterans holding federal positions. They’ve been profiled as SUCKERS and LOSERS who aren’t qualified to do the work they’re doing. FASCIST MAGA Labor camps will be filled with Patriots! Our Military has never been WEAKER!
Yep, it's absolutely disgraceful. Anyone who has ever had frequent or long-term care knows veterans are literal lifesavers & literal day-in-day-out soldiers in healthcare settings. Skilled, reliable, disciplined.
Any place that loses a veteran longtime employee is the worse for it.
I'm pretty sure 20-something coders who have been on the job for a month know more about every domain of human knowledge than experts with decades of experience
Veteran hiring and preference generally fall under different programs than DEI even if same general idea. I suppose not everywhere made these distinctions, same for disability which also often not under DEI.
No one has to give a veteran preferential treatment now. I guess they didn’t realize they are charity cases in many people’s eyes. It’s funny considering 2/3 of veterans voted for Trump
Veterans are 6% of population and estimated 60% MAGA by last stats I saw. Personally I think it's closer to 90% but my experience is mostly white guy combat units where I served and maintain ties. Most everyone I know is 100% disabled on paper. They are also cheering this on hard core and hate us.
It won't change anything unless it's a sustained and very obvious degrade in service. Even if it is they can probably get by with just lying about it for a couple of years. Once you go MAGA you are all in as far as I'm seeing.
Democrats in Congress need to be amplifying these stories - make what's happening relatable. People might start caring if they realize this could just as easily happen to them. Half the country is asleep, and if the Democratic party wants an army of citizens behind them, they need to wake them up!!
1. I’ll take the flack for saying this - we can’t have that mindset. I’m not trying to attack you personally or even say it’s not completely understandable why you feel that way. But as hard as it is, we cannot tie people’s rights to simple things like their voting record.
2. The moment we use one thing about a person to determine how they are treated in society we can’t make the argument that Trump is hurting *the whole country*. If we don’t fight for boiler-plate-everyone-deserves-these-rights then what we’re actually saying is we’re okay watching people suffer
3. with no real context about them. That’s not practical because we’re going to get stuck in flame wars trying to litigate the life of every single person in the country. It also provides no place for people to go when they stop supporting nationalism.
4. Trump voters absolutely bear responsibility and blame for their vote. But broadly condemning vast groups of people is an authoritarian tactic and we won’t win using it. We have to support and protect right *for everyone* so that they are strong enough to protect people we care about.
I agree. I am relieved that my first instinct is to feel sad when I hear these stories. Of course, I wanna hear folks come out & admit they were duped by Trump cuz I'm pissed as hell. But it's important to avoid otherism. Stay human.
Our tolerance of those that are intolerant have put us were we are and. One third of Americans voted to hurt people that look like me. They voted to deconstruct everything that so many have worked and even died for. They did this for hate and willful ignorance. They do deserve condemning.
It's primarily about them dealing with the consequences of their actions and understanding WHY they did what they did. Until they fully process that - THEY WILL REPEAT the behavior.
Our empathy rescues them from their consequences and they do it again. No empathy until their actions change.
1. Great. So did I and I would have again. Under the logic people are pinning onto Trump voters en mass, we’re all 100% guilty and culpable for Biden’s refusal to do anything about Gaza. And for his support of a state sponsored Israeli genocide conducted against Palestinian.
The US has never cared about its footdoldiers.
You can get PTSD or lose a limb for an american imperial project, from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan etc, you can lose your health and become totally disabled saving people from the predictable 9/11 bombings, you’ll still get shit.
I tried to combat the misinformation my parents were hearing about COVID being a hoax back in 2020 and I finally realized I was wasting my time and energy because they had "reasons" to argue with any evidence I provided.
I wonder if when they lose their Social Security benefits and Medicare, they’ll finally believe because they have evidence that directly impacts them. and there in lies the issue with most people. it’s not real unless it’s their personal lived experience
The media IS failing but if someone only watches Fox "News", they are going to be so brainwashed with propaganda that even if they saw these stories, they would rationalize them away.
Who did he vote for? I genuinely want to know. At the end of the day, even if he didn't vote for trump, he knows plenty of the people he served with did. So they put him in this spot, if he didn't vote for trump. What happened to leaving no one behind?
I don't believe they care who he voted for. They are firing everyone in their one year probationary period. It's wholesale, they don't even know WHO they are firing.
99% chance he voted for Trump. That’s what veterans do. They have chips on their shoulders, contempt for civilians and won’t stop to help someone change a tire on the side of the road unless their bumper sticker ideologies align.
Uh, no! Currently have a son in the Navy, he did not vote for the convicted felon. We have vets in the family, we despise that creature.
My sons (including my Navy son when home) shovel our neighbors sidewalk without being asked.
So don't come here w "that's what Veterans do" cause that is false
I am surrounded by veterans who did not vote for Trump. That of course is my anecdotal evidence. But we would not have organizations such as Vets for Democrats or Vets for Kamala off odds were 99 percent. The fact that he thought his veteran status protects him is pointing out he might be naive.
The majority of vets have conservative anti-govt views despite being 100% taxpayer funded & they oppose civilian taxpayers getting the same 100% taxpayer work/life benefits.
It’s an insular community that has contempt for civilians who pay their salaries & provide their families with benefits.
I can accept the "majority." I don't have data myself. I am questioning the "99 percent" assertion that this person voted for Trump. It is not a given that just by being a veteran one is a Trump voter. It is a gross generalization to make assumptions like that.
They are a minority. Log onto the Shawn Ryan show on youtube, chk out when he interviews Vets and the comme ts section with Vets responding. They all hate government, love Trump & Republicans. This is how stupid they are. They depend on government & Dems who save their asses funding their shit.
Hold on a sec! My husband served 30 years in the Army and our family (along with many vets/military families) are VERY much opposed to DJT and all his administration represents. Your blanket description of veterans may describe a select few but MANY more are appalled by the direction he’s taking us!
21 years in the military and two combat tours. Voted hard left my whole life. I was raised to lift up those less fortunate. I will stand on the bridge! I will be one of the 300! Would you?
As the person who started this whole mess….
1. I honestly appreciate and honor the service of all veterans.
2. I’m glad to learn so many veterans are liberal.
Now can we please stop telling other posters to F off?
Nothing against you personally, but it’s grotesque that taxpayers provide DoD employees & their families w/ generous work/life benefits that taxpayers themselves will never, ever get.
Because it would hurt recruitment. That’s not a military that supports civilians. It just wants to spend their $$
Generous work/life benefits? Enlisted military barely make a living wage and many have to rely on government help like SNAP, WIC and Medicaid to get by. I served 4 years in the AF and did not make what my counterparts were making in civilian jobs (I was a cop).
The US Coast Guard saves lives but I do not see any liberal values in the US military. It is a merchant of death & destruction. We don’t have modern infrastructure or basic work/life benefits b/c we need 11 nuclear aircraft carriers that we’ll never use to engage another superpower.
Perhaps you are an anomaly. Since WW2, the US has destroyed every country it has invaded, killed civilians, created millions of refugees and then hung them out to dry.
US spends a fortune on a military it has no use for. Russia is now an ally & China is our most important trading partner.
Trump voter or not, few veterans want taxpaying civilians to get the same work/life benefits that 100% taxpayer funded DoD employees & their families get. In any other country there'd be outrage. In the US, Dems rush to increase military funding & provide raises while giving up on the working class.
Honestly, I don't know what to tell you. Unless you served yourself (or things have drastically changed), you'd find that a lot of us were somewhat jealous of the federal civil service employees - their pay was higher, their time off was usually approved, our time off was usually denied (con't)
Oh, it definitely is - I wonder if the user lives in Virginia, Texas, or Florida where the military population is huge. Virginia alone has the dubious honor of having the largest Naval Base in the world!
Why does the US need so many nuclear aircraft carriers, submarines, planes, missiles and armament when no other enemy has so much as herds of goats?
China is US’s largest trading partner & US would never fight Russia.
It’s a grift and taxpayers are stuck w/ ancient diesel trains .
The US doesn’t have universal healthcare, national paid family leave, subsidized child/elder care, U pre-k, school meals, modern infrastructure or public transportation b/c it spends so much on a military that destroys poor counties.
Not your fault, but the military is a financial drain on the US.
Vets vote a slight but distinct majority Republican (60% vs. 38 Dem with a 2% independent is normal). That’s approximately the margins with which white men voted Republican in the last election, so it would be like accusing you of voting Trump just for being a white guy.
Sympathy for his kids.
US doesn’t have universal healthcare, natl paid family leave, U pre-k, subsidized child/elder care, affordable higher education or modern infrastructure b/c so much tax $ goes to the military.
Oh, but DoD employees & their families get those 100% taxpayer funded benefits.
I served 20 years. The majority of recruits come from the Midwest and states that are hard red. They will vote Republican and have those views, but most are still helpful to others. It's getting worse, though, with hard right influences grabbing the younger vote.
There are few if any large scale protests organized by veterans and current service members supporting all federal workers being fired or organizations that make the US and world a better place (NIH, CDC, USAID).
The US military is a taxpayer funded merchant of death that destroys countries, kills civilians and creates refugees. The Coast Guard saves lives. The US military as an organization does not.
Service members can vote Dem while also bombing poor people in poor countries.
While a majority of veterans do vote Republican. It was his statement that he thought he would be protected that led me to believe that he probably voted for Trump, but you really can’t tell from this clip
It doesn't matter. People who are just now learning they were conned are NOT the enemy. The enemy are those who are attacking our government right now: Rump, Musk, and their soldiers. The Republican Party won't risk stopping the coup. WE must make them fear us if they don't stop it NOW.
we're going to need folks like him to get our country back. doesn't matter who he voted for, that can't be changed now. focus your anger and efforts in places where it will have a positive effect.
Then he can work to regain our trust and faith in his intelligence. That's not on us. Anyone that didn't know what they were voting for were willfully ignorant
I know it’s none of our business and should make no difference in how we feel about this….. but those who voted for trump got what they asked for. They wanted him to fire everyone but them.
It’s not my fight, but honestly, does minor moral point scoring matter more than protecting people who are getting canned on the whims of a billionaire asshole.
Fuck that. The anger goes to anyone and everyone that voted for Trump or not for Harris... This mess is all on them and the only way they will learn is living in their own mess. they can reach out to the left with their apologies and plans for penance.
“He believed until this weekend that his veteran status would protect his job”. I’ll go with selfish Trump voter who couldn’t give 2 shits about anyone else.
It really doesn't matter if he did or didn't vote for
Trump. What is happening is a tragedy and people being hurt will not recover. Trump and friends are destroying this country and it will not survive unless we the people put a stop to this nonsense.
