1. Just got an

Email on my Veterans account with a video from trumps new VA head. Was like listening to the condescending tone of Moses Mike as he spoke of massive layoff’s, contract cuts, transparency and efficiency, and we will be become great, the likes of which we have never seen.
I am afraid one of the contracts is the Community Agreement with civilian specialist to provide care the VA can not do.
Been waiting 3 months to see a spine specialist for a service connected injury about possible surgery repairs. The appointment is the 11th. I will not be surprised if it is not going to be done, and I just have to live with crippling pain.
I hate all these mutherfuckers so bad.
I will just leave this here, best I not share my thoughts.

2. It pisses me off, too! Where would this country be without our veterans who give their all for this country??

Both of my grandfathers served in war, my great uncle earned the Silver Star, my Dad served as radio operator on the USS Ranger and both of his brothers served overseas. We owe this democracy to our veterans and I can't believe that TFG could possibly get away with letting down our veterans. I certainly share your feelings and I sure hope that you get the surgery you need, this country owes it to you...

All your family for service.

6. Same to you. As a veteran, you gave to your country. And it's your country's turn to give back to you.

3. Hope those Trump loving veterans like having their faces eaten.

They fall in line for the orange assclown when mentions the Bible (not even quoting verses) and molests the flag. That's why I don't go join the Legion or any of those old veterans groups, too many devotees of the MAGA cult.

5. They are thick

At the VA Hospital. Makes me nauseous every one I see.

8. The Marine in me would probably kick in and I'd ask questions to these MAGA such as....

...if the orange assclown ordered you to dive head first into and empty pool....would you do it?

Of course if it was another Marine, the questions would be a lot saltier.
