This country will be unrecognizable in 4 years.

Every institution has been hollowed out in 2 months.

I don't think we need to take that long, honestly. I can't imagine one year from now. In the fall my husband's VA benefits may go away, according to today's news We live in Hawaii which is very expensive. How do we make up the loss in our 70s? What jobs would be available to us with our limitations?

There are no answers when elected officials cease even the pretense of caring for their constituents.

If they carry on for the next 46 months the way they have for the part 2, you're right.

That business is just nasty and hateful. All of our soldiers deserve respect at the very least but those who were awarded honors, triply so. Certainly not so meanly desecrated like this. These “leaders” are leaving black marks all over the country.

This erasing & purge of our Military heros is a abomination against ALL who served in the Military..there is no color or race in serving your country- and this degradation of our Military veterans is beyond disgusting...the 47th administration are akin to the KKK,only in suits & are hiding behind the title of Republican.

Remember when you see photos of the Graves at any National Cemetery- we see no race we see our veterans gravesites. They are all who served to protect our USA. They will not be forgotten. No matter how much Hegseth tries: He a fascist & a bigot who has absolutely no concept of being a American.

Yes, there is. I had a sudden and horrible vision of gravediggers in the night emptying the DEI graves to please Trump’s racist crowd and no one saying a word.

damn then all who did this, and so many similar actions that are only slowly coming to light . . .

It’s exhausting, listing all the crap we will have to clean up because 31% of the electorate voted for this, and all Republican Senators voted for the corrupt, destructive, anti-competent leaders of our agencies — b.rad

I cannot say what I think of this. The words will not come to surface. One of the most disgusting thing that Hegseth has done and he is guilty of lots.

Disgusting----

Of course they’re trying to erase history. Because only White is Right …I’m not white and my father served in the US Navy WWII my Dad is white my Mom is Native Hawaiian.. I’m so glad my Dad is no longer here to see this travesty in our country. He defended our country. He was a good kind and fair person. This is NOT his Republican Party.

If they are erasing Blacks, Hispanics, and women from all military websites, even including Arlington National Cemetery's, and Medal of Honor recipients in those groups, how is that not blatant racism and misogyny? This is insanely appalling. These thugs want only White men mentioned in US history. Unbelievable.

Racist have been trying to hide Americas history of racism, slavery and murder for 150 years. Never taught in history books, until a couple years ago. then it was lies, pretending the slaves were like family members, liked being slaves and were well treated (looking at you Texas). But with the internet all they are doing is amplifying their racism and lies. And "forgetting" racist wrote Americas early history and some of the later, history and they were proud of what they did, kept records of the people they sold and owned. the land they stole, wrote about the Black people murdered just for being Black. So what hey are doing now won't be hidden like they want it too. It is spreading far and wide.

Being so intensely afraid of a level playing field where EVERYONE IS RECOGNIZED AND VALUED, IS WEAK.

Weak people, fragile people who need need this institutionilized slavery, and bullshit theories of "racial superiority" to deny their absolute lack of character. I'm heterosexual, white, and male. I am not threatened or bothered by the accomplishments of women and minorities, because that's weak.
