based and bad empanada pilled
Reactionaries when they once again, as always, get exactly everything that they wanted
Fucking forgot about Space Force until I saw that dumbass wannabe Starfleet flag.
Love how the moment Biden took office suddenly Space Force was totally reasonable.
Laughing my ass off at the Roman numerals on the Space Force flag.
Really putting on airs
CNSA has the right to use the Starfleet emblem, Space Force doesn’t.
My brothers are Marine vets so speaking based on their experiences:
What fucking services?
It costs a lot of money to keep a bunch of VA offices open for the sole purposes of denying benefits. May as well cut out the middlepeople and just close the offices!
This is kind of weird to me, I get VA services and they’ve been really damn good. They have however gotten worse as they’ve privatizing things more and more. Then I talk with or see statements from other vets in different parts of the country and they get absolutely nothing. I’m kinda waiting for a rug pull, my trans related healthcare is probably going to get yanked soon. Same token, I have a friend from back in high school who would by all rights qualify for benefits and compensation, but he refuses to try and file for it because he just doesn’t want to deal with the VA. Idk, shit’s fucked and I don’t know exactly where things are going wrong in the larger system, but it seems to be state by state.
We live in California and my brother kept trying to see a therapist for his depression and they kept canceling his appointments to the point that he eventually had a breakdown and had to commit himself to care for a few days. After that he found a private therapist and paid out of pocket.
If it’s that bad here I can’t imagine how bad it must be in states with shittier services.
Holy shit! I’ve literally had 2 therapists at the same time through the VA, both specializing in two different issues I was dealing with. The wait was really short. I could literally book a walk in appointment with my primary care like it’s urgent-ish care for same day if I’m lucky next day more likely. When I get my labs done, I’m in and out in about 10 minutes.
they probably didn’t meet their quota of children shooting to get services tbh

this will cause a right wing radicalization in veterans lmao
When you rely on socialized medicine and only vote for the party whose sworn enemy is socialized medicine (well not like the Ds are pro socialized medicine but…)
VA benefits being cut? Must be a day ending in ‘y’.
What do you mean the leopard is eating veterans’ faces!?
I don’t see it happening. The 2026 midterms would go terribly for the republicans as a result and cutting those benefits would create countless Luigis with actual weapons training. Plus the impact to red state economies would be way worse than whatever they save making the cuts.
countless Luigis with actual weapons training.
10x the weapons training and a tenth of the political awareness (and Luigi’s was kind of shaky to begin with).
And to that end, as a vet myself I can tell you that the average burgerlander essentially sees us like we’re gods (it’s unnerving tbh). So if we start going off when strangers want to “thank you for your service” (happens more often than you’d think), we can cause a bit of a stir and vets benefits are a bit of a third rail politically. Even having the training and experience I do, I’m legit afraid of other vets that are mentally unwell. Luigi’s adventure would look like child’s play.
