Summary

Current leadership isn’t just letting our military down, they’re setting them up. Cutting benefits, firing veterans, changing allies….Our soldiers might be, as Commander Jones says, “trained to absorb a lot” but they shouldn’t have to absorb this kind of disrespect. The American military are not there to make the president appear more manly, or be used as an enforcement brigade to deliver real estate deals or bring political enemies to heal, so what happens when the administration asks our soldiers to do something for him but against the constitution? You don’t remove the kind of expertise from military leadership unless you have an agenda of which you know military leadership wouldn’t approve. So where are we, and what comes next?

0:00.0	The American military, we will do whatever, like I said, our civilian leadership wants us to do.
0:05.0	But at the same time, we're still human beings.
0:07.2	Yes, you are.
0:07.8	We're still human beings.
0:09.9	And to be thrown around like just some asset, right, that can be thrown at will to shape real estate deals and possibly create genocide or helping a genocide. It's callous.
0:23.0	Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it. Almost all
0:38.9	Americans will be affected by these gigantic federal funding cuts, cuts that are primarily spearheaded by the
0:44.9	richest man in the world, or we should probably say the most selfish man in the world. And while all
0:50.0	citizens will be affected in some way, research shows that these budget slashes will be especially
0:55.0	hard on those who served in the military. In Trump's first term, he was committed to expanding
1:00.3	services for veterans. Now, they are cutting everything from everybody. Eighty-three thousand jobs
1:06.5	have already been slashed from the VA, affecting their health care and their services.
1:14.6	And Trump is even talking about getting rid of people's disability benefits if they receive veteran benefits, or getting rid of veteran benefits if they're receiving disability benefits,
1:19.1	as if veterans are somehow double-dipping, rather than acknowledging that most of them are
1:23.4	disabled because of their service. And to this this the fact that Trump just ordered the Pentagon
1:28.2	and the Department of Veteran Affairs to eliminate all historical links to women, black people
1:33.3	and people of color from our national cemeteries and websites, and it's just callousness on top
1:38.3	of cruelty. Thank you for your service has become thank you for nothing. If you aren't a white man,
1:43.3	you don't exist. So today we're
1:45.2	going to talk about what's happening with our veterans in America with commander Bobby R. Jones,
1:49.1	a retired Navy veteran who graduated from Minneapolis as a surface warfare officer, received a
1:55.0	master's degree in national security and strategic studies from the United States Naval War
