It appears the Stolen Honor “veterans” on popsicle sticks and carried around by American haters found out about this. I wonder how they think Joe Pedo treated them. I’ll bet they loved him.

“Take money from DoED and give it to our Vets!P

Speaking as a veteran, how should it be “given” to us?

Checks?
Gold bars?

I love your comments :)

There is a lot of waste everywhere...the military doesn’t know where...what...2 or 3 trillion dollars went to?

Everyone has to come clean.

Heard care won’t be affected. Maybe some benefits folks without their heads where the sun don’t shine.

Yes as long as they do it all little at a time.

I am at the Palo Alto facility now for a knee replacement. I am convinced it is the finest Hospital in the world.

There was also NOTHING to check if one was a vet voting. But the questions were designed to lead to a conclusion, making it a clickbait poll.

Not sure, as I am not a veteran. But I wonder if the V.A has been doing tummy tuck, and breast enhancement and buttocks padded.. and if they do transitioning for people who suffer with gender confusion. Would they repair a rectum of a VET that had an accident with a roduent that he placed up his kazoon for pleasure and tore the membranes? At some point some of these medical attentions probably are NOT service connected and I don’t think taxpayers should be asked to do abortions, and BOTOX treatment to get rid of wrinkles.

Okay, I'll restate. (And, speaking as a Vet as well)

Take money from DoED and transfer it to a restructured and reconstituted VA.

That’s one of those push poll questions. Nobody could possibly like the VA losing 80k. “That Trump hates vets!” In reality this is right up Secretary Hegseth’s alley because he talks about this extensively in regards to reforms in the VA system. I have had to deal with multiple VA hospitals. Some are outstanding and others are grotesque. The reform will be complicated but I know most vets are not getting the right service especially PTS(PTS), homelessness and the older vets.

If they aren’t productive to the agency’s efficiency, then yes.

This is the restructuring piece.

The VA has expertise in those areas that nobody else can match.

If they are useless, doing nothing, and especially if they are sitting at home refusing to come to work.

ABSOLUTELY!

Cutting costs will actually help us save these programs.

I support getting rid of useless managers and executives at all levels. Always.

I have come to believe that much of the hiring that was done during the Biden administration was featherbedding.

After COVID-19's "paycheck protection" handouts ran out, after unemployment ran out, after round one of "stimulus" checks ran out, after round two of "stimulus" checks ran out, and then after round three of "stimulus" checks ran out, the government began hiring people in order to keep money flowing through them and into the economy.

That's why Biden used to brag about "creating" so many new jobs. Many of these people were hired into government healthcare jobs just so they can get government handouts disguised as paychecks.

Now President Trump wants to get rid of these jobs.
