is called the Veterans Choice Program. I entered the program because the wait at our local VA facility was months. It's only funded through February....some say money will run out before the end of this year.

I have no doubt that this "administration" will put this on the chopping block. And there was a post yesterday that they're going after Tricare.

These bastards won't stop at anything.

I'm thinking the veterans still supporting Trump have some overriding social issue stuff going on that they're on board with Trump on. I was friends with a guy on Facebook from my childhood. He was a sweet, intelligent kid back in the day. He grew up and went into the military and for some reason came out of there a raging alt-right type. His Facebook feed was nothing but memes about guns, Trump sycophancy, and racism. I just sat here for a few minutes trying to remember if he ever shared anything else, but I couldn't remember anything. He didn't even type his own thoughts on the issues most of the time, but the memes made it clear to me where he stood.

Those are the kind of bone spurs that keep you out of the military (because helmets won't fit) but make you perfect to lead the GOP.

Why no veteran, active military, family or military supporter would ever give Mango Mussolini any support. Including this veteran.
