Trump and Musk Are Stealing the American Dream From Veterans

the intro seems a naive view of the American dream. I’d argue veterans of WWII came home and achieved the American dream but the billionaires were well underway stealing the American dream during any war the author—being 44 years old—was deployed to. In fact, they were probably deployed for the billionaires who wanted more oil money.
- The billionaires were in the Whitehouse during the early 2000s
People should watch Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk which explains how American Dream has already broken for veterans.
We Went to War, Came Home, and Achieved the American Dream.
And it cost you nothing except a few bullets in the heads of brown people. If most veterans are even half as proud of "serving" as this person seems to be, then maybe Trump is right to cut their benefits.
Edit: These unexplained downvotes tell me all I need to know. Y'all deserve Trump.
- For those unaware about how bad the war in Iraq was, I got a video of American PMCs driving around Baghdad shooting at innocent civilians in their cars with 19 civilians dying thanks to this incident (they were pardoned by Trump)
  Links to several massacres.
  A video of an American occupier throwing a puppy off a cliff in Iraq.
  Americans killed more Iraqi civilians than the amount of Ukrainian civilians that Russia killed. Americans killed more Iraqi civilians than the amount of Palestinian civilians that Israel killed in the Gaza war.
  Ain’t linking it here for obvious reasons.
- The article is clearly talking about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, though.
  I had served my country, was deployed in support of two wars, and was ready to build a future — one that included a stable job, a home, and the security that comes with hard work and sacrifice.
