They are doing illegal work in an illegitimate "agency" for a South African Nazi who was not elected or appointed or confirmed. They are criminals. They are destroying this country. We get to know their names.

I hear they'll be marked down to an affordable $1B for Memorial Day Weekend sales at all the big retailers. Just change your priorities and work a little harder. You can do it.

I'm sorry to hear that you are facing homelessness. No one should have that worry. People who served should not have those worries.
I have several patients who are veterans. It's just another area where the story the public is fed is very different from the reality people actually experience.
