What did they mean?
This is the first in a new series I’m calling ‘What’s Really Going On’ where I will explain what’s really going on behind a news story or issue with a video explainer. This will be a regular feature right here on Substack and our ‘On Democracy Channel’ on YouTube
Today J.D. Vance and Alina Habba both had their own masks slip on what they think of military service be it our allies or our own troops. First, Vance smeared our European allies who stepped up to fight by our side in Afghanistan and Iraq by dismissing their service completely.
Then Alina Habba stood on the White House lawn and implied that the estimated 6,000 veterans who have lost their jobs with the federal government didn’t deserve those jobs or weren’t showing up. It feels like the first shot in the messaging campaign that will impugn our service to divide us and pull back our benefits and support.
