Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.
Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.
Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.
