"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

      Go fuck yourself. You display the exact same lack of empathy as the current administration and the same bigoted ignorance as it’s supporters. Veterans are absolutely not a conservative voting monolith, and you’re effectively condemning an entire class of people based on your stereotype

      No.

      Not all of them voted for Trump, and even if they did, they’re clearly not mentally well and need to be helped.

      Whenever anyone disavows Trump and Republicans, we need to embrace them so they stop working against us making things harder.

      Plus, turned Republicans are helpful in turning others like themselves over even if just by sheer example.

      We must build community, not tear it apart.

    Know what? Fuck em. Don’t leave. They want the bills paid, then they can pay the fucking bills they told those veterans they would.

    Remember, you took an oath to serve the Constitution first. Time to dust off those uniforms and service rifles one last time

        The US army will give soldiers a stipend to purchase their own rifles for use in battle, and those are the property of the soldier. I mean you can use a general issue rifle which you don’t get to keep, but everyonei knew opted for the stipend so they could build their own custom rifle and keep it.

        Also nearly every police officer opts to use a stipend to purchase their own service firearm which is their personal property. You can use one issued by the PD, but again I don’t know of anyone that opted for that route.

        Service weapons. My grandad brought some abomination home from the Khyber pass. Granted I didn’t pry too much, cause I did that one time (unrelated story of his) and he shut the fuck down. Like went silent for what seemed like twenty minutes and just left the house. I tried asking my dad and he said he didn’t know much about my grandad’s time there either as he was born within days of my grandad’s deployment.
