A new profile on General Mark Milley delved into his efforts to preside over the military despite his numerous concerns with former President Donald Trump.
It wasn’t even a decade ago when the Republican party was all about the wounded vets and veterans in general. They were THE American heroes and were honored extensively. They used them to speak about how the libs didn’t give a damn about our soldiers and all that crap.
Then Trump came in with his “I like soldiers who don’t get hurt or captured” bullshit and all the POW/MIA flags disappeared and got replaced with the Gadsen flag and the Iron Cross.
They weren’t even that before Trump. They were busy dismantling the VA and cutting benefits for veterans before him. Jon Stewart had to go to Congress to argue for benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits.

They use them to look good but they’re also the party that cuts the services they most need.
