Trump and Musk’s DOGE purge isn’t just slashing government jobs—it’s gutting Veterans’ livelihoods, healthcare, and support services. Thousands of Veterans who served this country are now jobless, while VA staffing shortages are already cutting off critical care. Here’s what’s happening:
A Veteran and career civil servant loses his job with no warning, a brutal wake-up call to what DOGE really stands for.
A disabled Veteran, once dedicated to helping fellow service members, was fired without cause as part of the DOGE purge.
He served his country, then worked to support other Veterans. Now, thanks to DOGE, he’s unemployed.
A combat Veteran who risked everything for this country is tossed aside like he doesn’t matter.
Another VA worker fired, while Veterans seeking care are left waiting even longer.
Veterans are already losing access to healthcare because VA staffing cuts are causing massive delays.
The people who help struggling Veterans in crisis are being fired, leaving at-risk Veterans without critical mental health support.
Many of the Veterans who joined federal service to continue their mission of serving others are now jobless.
The real impact of DOGE: gutting the support systems that Veterans fought for and rely on.
DOGE cut vital contracts including those for support for medical and burial services for veterans, VA cancer programs, and recruiting doctors for critical vacancies.
Service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses are taking a disproportionate hit of the VA contracts cancelled by DOGE so far.
Veterans who contracted with the VA to assist other veterans are losing their livelihoods as DOGE axes contracts without regard for veteran status.
The pattern is clear: DOGE is a direct attack on Veterans. It’s putting them out of work, cutting off their healthcare, and gutting the very programs they risked their lives to defend. This isn’t about ‘cutting waste’—it’s about abandoning those who served.
