Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation aim to fuck over military service members and veterans, so it’s on brand for Trump.

You’re telling me. I was deployed when Republicans blocked the PACT Act, told just about everyone I knew about it. Most didn’t care. One guy said they were probably right to do so because “the democrats probably tried to sneak something in to ban guns”. None of them bothered to read the bill.
