Thinking a lot about the Bonus Army this year. Veterans now are losing far more to these cuts than the vets at that time stood to lose by occupying DC. The VA obvs, but their shared histories are being erased too. As cuts ripple out into the rest of the economy their paths out of service dry up too
imo the left really needs to put a lot more effort into organizing veterans, especially now. they aren’t a political monolith, and a lot of them are getting screwed over right now.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
