"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.">
Honestly, voting for Trump violated their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As you say, he staged an insurrection. He tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power and overturn the results of a legitimate election. No matter what Trump’s pet SCOTUS says, we all saw it on television. He is a domestic enemy.
Yes, exactly. And if anyone should have known better, it should have been us veterans.
