Veterans who have been abruptly fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed by the Trump administration's dramatic downsizing of government
Veterans terminated from federal jobs express feelings of betrayal, particularly those who supported Trump. The abrupt firings stem from the administration's downsizing efforts. Cases like Nathan Hooven, a disabled Air Force veteran, and James Stancil, an Army veteran, highlight the sudden nature of the layoffs, often without cause. The Department of Veterans Affairs is cutting thousands of jobs, disproportionately affecting veterans. Veterans from both political parties feel their service was disregarded. Despite the administration defending the cuts, many, including Cynthia Williams and Jared Evans, seek an apology from Trump for the perceived injustice.
