For the past month, the Trump administration has been cutting federal spending, causing numerous hardships for government employees, the agencies they work for and the people they serve. But veterans are among those hardest hit, and the impact goes well beyond job loss.

    The forever suckers just doing whatever they’re told by “authorities” for over 20 years. So sad.

      Most veterans don’t do 20, especially now. Looks like only 17% do. The military is terrible and pays like dick. Even the lifetime pension cant compete with leaving at 4 and then socking away just the difference in pay for 16 years.

      Most of us do our initial term and leave. Lots and lots and lots of us, at about a 45% ratio based on the last polling i looked at, are liberals or leftists.

      Veterans are not a unified, conservative voting block. The majority vote for this garage, but an almost equal sized minority do not.
