Veterans Furious Over Trump Administration Layoffs
Nationwide Veterans Administration layoffs, impacting Atlanta’s VA Health Care System, resulted in the termination of over 1,000 employees, saving an estimated $93 million annually. These funds will be reallocated to enhance veteran healthcare, benefits, and services. Former employees, including a 12-year veteran, express feelings of betrayal and allege unfair treatment, questioning the rationale behind their dismissals. Secretary Collins, while acknowledging the difficult decision, assures the public that veteran benefits remain unaffected and welcomes the efficiency review conducted by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
