Summary
Trump adviser Alina Habba defended the administration’s firing of 6,000 veterans from federal jobs, falsely claiming without evidence that some were not actually working.
Critics, including fired veterans, dispute this, calling the terminations unfair and demoralizing. Some received termination emails citing poor performance despite positive reviews.
Affected employees, including disabled veterans, described the move as a betrayal.
House Democrats condemned the firings, and some invited fired workers as guests to Trump’s joint address to Congress.
And there’s 20 years worth of veterans with actual recent combat experience out there.
