I wonder how many soldiers would have done more than one tour in Iraq, and Afghanistan if they knew they wouldn't have their benefits.

The term "redneck" is more nuanced than I knew.

Trump/Musk/Mar a Lardo billionaires plan to "Russianize" the US military - no more rules of engagement; no more extended benefits; forced conscription; WITHOUT extended benefit$$, if any, like in Russia. That way they get a bigger army for cheaper. Extorted Trump will always mimic Putin for greed..

We'll be repeating the Bonus Army fiasco with Trump

Yes, Sir.

What they are doing is an absolute disgrace…

I never thought I would see a day where Veterans were treated with such disrespect..

Well put.

Something is trickling down but it is not money or resources

Project 2025 requires all kids in public schools (but not private schools) to take the military entrance exam. They wouldn’t be requiring that unless they plan to reactivate the draft of the poor and middle class kids. No recruitment needed. Mandatory.

Why then did a majority of current and former military vote for him? He told them his plans. None of this is new.

To stay fair, a living wage would also slow down recruitments.

Meanwhile, the elites are making a mess of VA Health and Tricare, and convincing people that that's how socialist and single player care works. Of course it's not.

*payer. Sorry, didn't catch that auto correct in time.

I am a retired Police Officer and 911 survivor our prescriptions and healthcare are going up. Our healthcare stinks. Thanks to Mega bigots who only cared about their hate and eggs things are going to get worse. What a shit show.

liberatedwoman.bsky.social•64 days ago

I am a 911 survivor, I suffer from several 911 illnesses they didn’t even have the balls to put our program back in the budget. I hope the Mega morons are happy. They put issues that do not affect our lives first to get us to ignore the real like billionaires stealing from the public, scumbags.

My father was a decorated WW11 war veteran what a slap in all those veterans faces. If my father was alive he would be mortified and disgusted. The veterans benefits helped my family. My father was able to buy a home and help us. If anything veterans deserve more benefits not less.

And chances are very good they never served a day.

I've changed species but will call out the truth when I can Sir. Recruiting while you're bullying your allies doesn't sound very appealing either. I think this monster that has Brain Rot in the US has created such an unstable stance now that I'm sure somebody will stand up to the Bully. Somewhere!

And top generals not getting promotions because of one republican senator. Let’s hope the military will refuse to follow illegal orders from Trump-crazy appointees.

Never ceases to amaze me that people who complain about paying too much taxes continue to vote to pay billionaires taxes.

I take that personal.

The local recruiter has been trying to get my daughter for weeks. I finally flat out told him she will never serve in a military that MAGA controls- two days later she got a full ride to college via presidential merit scholarship. I would not recommend anybody serving in the military under Trump.

Our Veterans deserve the VERY best. It angers me that our country doesn't take better care of them. Thank you for your service ❤️🫂❤️

As a 55 yo Naval veteran,progressive democrat when I was younger I always figured that things would change.Marijuana legalization,gay rights,&possibly a little less racism, but I never dreamed that racism would explode and I would witness the end of our democracy.

It's beyond appalling that there are so many homeless veterans,,, It's beyond appalling that these billionaire oligarchs are purging our institutions, And it's unfuckin believable that this Adjudicated rapist is gonna be sworn in Jan 20th. Sec 3 of 14th amendment forbids This MTF to be sworn in ,👇
