Is it just my neighborhood that hates veterans?
I realize that naturally it's not every - single - person when I talk about neighborhoods, I am talking about the general vibe of areas. I hate that I have to start with a semantics disclaimer, current year.
My neighborhood is working class, families, residential area of houses and such, for context. Around here most of the people under 30 are "Libertarian Eat The Rich" and HUGE supporters of Trump / Elon because they are going to make America rich again. They have nice things, eat out often and enjoy being financially as stable as the next guy.
I'm moving to the mountains however, as I've spent the last year hearing phrases like "changes are coming" and "we can't afford veterans" and "disability is no reason not to work" and "you took an oath to serve, not live on my dime". It goes on, but you get the idea. I'm tired of apologizing for my service to people until the 4th of July when they get mad that I don't celebrate bbq day with them.
Just the other month I was in the management office for our townhomes, the manager was making a Keurig coffee while saying "Veterans are just so damned expensive is all".
I did the math.
The ENTIRE V.A. used to cost each taxpayer about $60 per month to exist, right down to my monthly freeloader money. With the cuts Elon made to restore freedom it's now closer to $56.
SO - while I have decided to move and work on shoving my service up my ass to protect freedom, I do want to get some honest, no bullshit feedback from around the state.
1) What are you going to do with your $4 per month that the cuts to V.A. suicide prevention programs saved you?
2) Would you like to see the entire $60 each month?
3) Do you also feel that Elon will help Eat The Rich and make all Americans rich again?
4) Is this just my neighborhood or does most of this part of the nation want me to shove my service up my ass and stop being a freeloading veterantard?
