Rep. Ruben Gallego pushes for the VA to strip benefits from service members and veterans who stormed Capitol

[GURPS]

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a Marine Corps veteran, last week called on Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough to withdraw benefits from active-duty service members, veterans, or military retirees who participated in the deadly January 6 Capitol riot.

"The behavior of these individuals is not representative of the large population of American veterans, the vast majority of whom served honorably and are appalled by the thought of insurrection in the country they served," he wrote in a letter. "Yet, many of the veterans and service members who attacked their own government actively and enthusiastically enjoy benefits not available to their fellow citizens."

Such benefits include access to disability compensation, more affordable healthcare options, and vocational opportunities.

Thanks for your service Rubin but, Six years with a combat deployment and ended as a Corporal?
Must not have been much of a Marine.

Take away earned benefits for exercising the 1st A rights but re-instate voting for felons. That make sense.

Seems like there's always a reason to curtail VA benefits. On another matter, do congresscritters lose benefits when there caught doing morally/ legally questionable things?

I doubt it

How about we take Gallego's benefits away, now that he's got a well-paying job for life (hint: just keep promising people free sh*t, Reuben), with options for graft, corruption, and kick-backs that'll make him a multimillionaire if he plays his cards right.

Democrats do love to attack and punish our military, just like they love to attack and punish our police officers.

Although, honestly, if military members keep coming out in favor of fascism We the People are going to have to punish their asses.

Strangely, the worst ones in congress are the former military. Can we say John "Marines are murderers" Murtha, himself a former active duty Marine?

Well if this cuck believes it then needs to submit legislation to do such and forever have his name to it.

Gallego represents Phoenix and is on his 4th term, so no doubt his constituents are on board with his fascism. PS, his ex-wife is the Mayor of Phoenix. PPS, he was the national chair for Eric Swalwell's presidential campaign.

And that's all you need to know about Phoenix.
