      I can’t remember any recent veteran public murder/suicides that involved taking out baddies. For some reason my brain went right to the DC snipers, but again, no baddies

        Couple postal shooters in Fort Hood Killeen in last decades. Before I moved there, someone shot up a Lubys restaurant, when I moved away some soldiers went nuts and shot up the base, two different instances of I remember correctly.

    Fucking LOL. “Loves the troops”.

    But also, none of his supporters give a shit. He openly derides injured/captured/killed soldiers and veterans, but clearly that’s all “fake news”.

    Or he could tax billionaires a little. This is a choice between veterans and billionaires. The billionaires will still be billionaires either way.

      This has nothing to do with the federal budget. Congress already appropriated the money, this is just straight up evil.

      It is worse than not making billionaires pay more. He is firing all these people as a pretext to giving billionaires more tax breaks because the government is more ‘efficient’.

    The VA is already understaffed, how is making them more understaffed going to make them more efficient?
