Summary
Anthony Muro, a Marine veteran and former VA hospital worker, regrets voting for Trump after being fired amid sweeping government cuts led by Elon Musk.
Muro was one of 25,000 probationary (new) federal employees terminated, including 1,700 VA workers. Despite court orders deeming the firings unlawful, he remains on administrative leave.
Muro criticizes Trump’s efficiency drive as harmful to veterans, saying cuts damage morale and care quality.
Many VA staff and veterans fear reduced services and long-term impacts on healthcare. Muro hopes to continue helping veterans despite his uncertain future.
Thank you for your service (the not voting for Trump part; my friends who were in the military just see it as a job and cringe when people thank them, so I won’t do that).
Eh no one says it anymore after you take off the uniform. I appreciate it.
Well then thanks, and I’m sure ptz would thank you too.
I feel like we should all just start telling it to teachers instead.
