He lost. You can't actually cut veteran benefits in the USA. Its been tried and fails every time. That's why now they're cutting pensions for NEW recruits. It doesnt upset the old heads and only applies to those that do 20+. This is close as the USA will get.

>veterans demanding benefits
They were demanding an advance on the benefits years before they could legally collect.

The fact they had to wait several decades was bullshit in the first place.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE JAPANESE MADE IT TO THE PHILIPPINES SAVE ME NIGGERMAN (the rest of you faggots can stay here and get executed in pow camps lmao)

And that justifies running them over with tanks and bayoneting them to death how?

And he gave himself a Medal of Honor for the trouble

>>18663686
And? They were in a shitty situation and were negotiating to change it. Trying to murder them for having the temerity to improve their situation is beyond callous, it's morally depraved.

Until those young recruits realize they've been screwed, and the problem starts all over again.

He should have been strangled with a silk cord

It's a negotiation. You demand money, I offer death

Could've literally issued government bonds where they paid 100% of what was promised to veterans years later, and used that money to say, "Hey, we'll give you 80% now."
So fucking stupid, the vets get their pay, and anyone who wants to wait the years until the promised payout get paid for their investment to fund it.
