In interviews with The Associated Press, several veterans who supported candidates of both parties described their recent job losses as a betrayal of their military service.

I would advise anyone considering military service: DON’T. Until/unless the current Fascist regime is gone, you will be used for the whims of an adult toddler. If you want to serve your country, do so with a state or local government. If you want new experiences, consider jobs in other countries.
#veterans are the biggest beneficiary of #socialism in the US. They were in a government organization, got everything provided, then get out for huge gov benefits, hiring preferences, housing, education, health care etc. Then vote 60%+ for the party that’s “anti socialism”. #leopardsatemyface
Finding out you were diverse all along must be really hard. I guess advocating for better treatment for all, regardless of service, would have prevented this. But i guess we're still playing the nationalism game instead. 🤷
Don’t care at all about Trump voters. If you voted for Trump especially any veteran who did this I DONT GIVE A SHIT! The biggest “socialist” benefit program on earth is the US military so how the hell did you not see that Trump would destroy your life. Remember McCain?
Veterans who voted for Trump, voted for hate, hate of others. They just didn't think Trump would turn the hate on them. You put your faith in a criminal you're going to become a victim.
Before I even read this, I can bet you learned two things.
1) the morons who voted for Trump feel like bigger idiots than those who didn’t.
2) the ones who didn’t vote for Trump feel like the ones who did should go to hell.
I'm trying to find sympathy for any Trump voter who comes to grief because of his decisions, but it's hard. They knew he was a snake when they picked him up.
65% of VETS/58% current military personnel voted for Agent Orange.Private Bonespurs called you Losers & dummies for serving. You thought his toxic policies would hurt the others (Blk, Brwn, Gay, Poor) & brought this FRESH HELL on yourself. My regret is that good & decent peeps are collateral damage.

Lots of us warned veterans about Trump’s intent - it wasn’t like any of this was a shocker
The anti-woke agenda was a smoke screen for what they’re doing right now - and many stupidly fell for it
Shocking.
Many of us understood the assignment
Not enough of us, but Trump didn’t hide Project 2025
