“”I do want less government control, getting rid of SNAP, period, would be a good start.””

So, are you going to personally support ‘all’ of the homeless veterans on government assistance if SNAP goes away, due to people like you wanting it eliminated? (asking for a friend)

“Across the United States, veterans and military families visit food banks and food pantries to help make ends meet. 1 in 9 working-age veterans are food insecure. 24% of active-duty service members were food insecure in 2020. 1.2 million low-income veterans use SNAP (formerly known as food stamps).”

A third of all vets are now officially “disabled”, meaning they will still get SNAP without any restrictions. Vets of prime working age who aren’t disabled would in 2 years need to work, volunteer, or be in job training 20 hours a week.

Do you really object to that?
