I struggle to give a single fuck about this predicament that Veterans by and large brought upon themselves.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Go fuck yourself. You display the exact same lack of empathy as the current administration and the same bigoted ignorance as it's supporters. Veterans are absolutely not a conservative voting monolith, and you're effectively condemning an entire class of people based on your stereotype
No.
Not all of them voted for Trump, and even if they did, they're clearly not mentally well and need to be helped.
Whenever anyone disavows Trump and Republicans, we need to embrace them so they stop working against us making things harder.
Plus, turned Republicans are helpful in turning others like themselves over even if just by sheer example.
We must build community, not tear it apart.
Remember, you took an oath to serve the Constitution first. Time to dust off those uniforms and service rifles one last time
You know they don't let us take our guns home, right?
The US army will give soldiers a stipend to purchase their own rifles for use in battle, and those are the property of the soldier. I mean you can use a general issue rifle which you don't get to keep, but everyonei knew opted for the stipend so they could build their own custom rifle and keep it.
Also nearly every police officer opts to use a stipend to purchase their own service firearm which is their personal property. You can use one issued by the PD, but again I don't know of anyone that opted for that route.
Because the US Army is planning to deliver parts and ammo for 70 different custom rifles to all its bases and outposts.
I don't know any soldiers who have told me that. Not saying you're wrong, just saying that's new info to me.
US Army does no such thing.
The logistics challenges would be incredible.
Know what? Fuck em. Don't leave. They want the bills paid, then they can pay the fucking bills they told those veterans they would.
