Donald Trump's Military Cowardice Goes Beyond His 5 Draft Deferrals. He continuously disrespects those who actually served. - Teen Vogue
"Nathan Hooven is a disabled Air Force veteran who voted for Donald Trump in November. Barely three months later, he’s now unemployed and says he feels betrayed by the president’s dramatic downsizing of the federal government that cost him his job.
“I think a lot of other veterans voted the same way, and we have been betrayed,” said Hooven, who was fired in February from a Virginia medical facility for veterans. “I feel like my life and the lives of so many like me, so many that have sacrificed so much for this country, are being destroyed.” - MLive

Trump’s federal hiring freeze raises fears about VA medical care
"... concern that Trump’s new federal hiring freeze could hurt operations at Veterans Affairs medical centers by complicating efforts to fill critical health care specialties."
“If VA freezes hiring as mandated in Trump’s executive order, veterans could face significant wait times for medical appointments and reductions in access to care and benefits. The drafters of these orders clearly did not consider the downstream effects of a hiring freeze on the millions of veterans who rely on VA," said Mark Takano, D-CA, the ranking member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee - Military Times

Veterans deserve better
Project 2025 defaults to private-sector outsourcing of services that the federal government has traditionally provided. This approach causes two problems for veterans:
Veterans make up around 30% of the federal workforce (300,000 employees.) Project 2025’s stated mission to deploy Schedule F to fire tens of thousands of federal workers will directly impact veterans, working both within and beyond the VA.

For VA users, Project 2025’s twisting of the meaning of “veteran-centric” care will negatively impact the timeliness, quality and cost of veteran healthcare. - Andra Watkins
How Trump and Republicans Insult Veterans
MAGA Republicans' scheme to sellout veterans
Project 2025 will force veterans to use private-sector “community clinics” staffed with people who have no military experience. Claims and payments for these services will be outsourced to private-sector third parties, which operate like for-profit insurance companies. Project 2025 will also leave around 300,000 federal veterans unemployed.
For a party that professes to care about those who have served our country, Fascist Republicans have nothing but contempt for our veterans. We cannot let them win in November. Andra Watkins
