As the federal government undergoes significant changes under the Trump administration, one group is feeling the weight more than most: America’s veterans.

A recent PBS NewsHour article highlights how veterans — many of whom make up nearly 30% of the federal workforce — are increasingly affected by federal staffing cuts and restructuring efforts. Reductions at key agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are not just bureaucratic shifts; they represent real impacts on the care, services, and benefits that veterans have earned.

While some veterans supported the administration’s broader goals, the downsizing of federal roles – especially in departments designed to serve veterans – has raised concerns. Cuts in healthcare staffing, delays in benefits processing, and a general scaling-back of services have created uncertainty and frustration.
