DOGE hates vets
“One point about the Musk firing spree that was barely getting any attention at first is now starting to break through into mainstream media accounts: veterans are hugely overrepresented among federal civil servants, and even more so among probationary employees. They’re getting hit hard by these erratic and needless firings.”
So vets are DEI hires?
“I’ve seen different statistics, but most suggest that roughtly 30% of government employees are military veterans whereas that number is around 5% in the private sector. Needless to say, you should not and do not need to be a veteran of the military to have an expectation that you won’t be treated like garbage by the government you work for. But it is a simple reality, and for many good reasons, that veterans have an especial place in the civic values and public imagination of the American people.”
Republicans used to stand up for veterans. Guess now they agree with Trump that people who put their lives on the line for their country are “losers” and “suckers.”
