i know this is the hate the military website but veterans DO NOT deserve this and you SHOULD sternly oppose policies that fuck over veterans.
if this gets people mad at means-testing then GOOD because i'm not a veteran but i'm living under means-testing and let me tell you it is HORRIBLE and the effects it has on your humanity, both in your understanding of your value to society (none, or none worth fighting for) and in the sense of your ability to fucking FEEL CONCERN FOR OTHERS instead of concern for your own safety when something like a crisis happens, are truly horrendous. (my dad being in hospital should be a source of pain and fear because i don't want my dad to die, not because i'm terrified of what him dying would do to my housing and benefits, but i don't get to fucking feel that like a normal person -- years of survival gatekeeping successfully stripped that away from me.)
if you need public assistance to survive you are expected to live as a lesser thing as penance.
fucking stand up for disabled veterans.
the rights of the disabled are the rights YOU will have WHILE YOU ARE DYING. look that in the fucking eye. care NOW.
He wants to decide if you deserve it.
#also my dad is a veteran and he didn't have a choice about being military and was shit on about it from the literal minute he got home#also even if you hate the military as much as i do#you don't get to draw an exception for 'everyone deserves to be able to survive' just because someone voluntarily enlisted#you either believe what you said or you are just like the others who think it's okay to shut some people out from that#based on what you IMAGINE about those people#dad was being verbally abused waiting for his bus home AS THE ENTIRE REST OF HIS UNIT back overseas was being wiped out#even poor stupid howie who closed his nuts in a foot locker#i do not support our military or our actions and i doubt i would care for most veterans but they are not people we should throw away#and their rights and benefits are canaries in the coal mine that is already on fire
