An increasing number of US veterans are sounding the alarm. Behind US President Donald Trump’s patriotic rhetoric, fundamental social benefits for veterans are being eroded: access to healthcare is being slowed down, medical staff are being laid off, and aid for transgender veterans is being discreetly cut. Trump’s plan also includes up to 80,000 job cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Despite a majority of veterans voting for Trump at last year’s election, some are now denouncing rampant privatisation that’s impacting the most vulnerable in the community. A silent rift is opening up between the nation and those who risked their lives for it. FRANCE 24’s Matthieu Mabin and Fraser Jackson report.
