Question about project 2025

How will affect military vets?

Answer

The document focuses on dismantling essential benefits to disabled veterans, seeing them as a drain on resources. It suggests reducing the types of disabilities qualifying for benefits. The intention may be to put vets in more precarious economic circumstances, creating dependence and opening the door for even more restrictive, and even discriminatory, treatment in future policies. It will be especially hard on the most vulnerable of disabled veterans, which are likely to be Black and brown. In essence, the goal is to make veterans reliant on a system that has historically treated them with prejudice, but with even more bias and inequity after these policies are enacted.
