Veterans who have been abruptly fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed by the Trump administration’s dramatic downsizing of government.

This is a misleading stat, because veterans skew heavily male and old (since Boomers were drafted for Vietnam).
In 2023, Pew published a profile of veteran demographics.
Polls that have broken up veterans by generation show a clear generational divide as well. This poll from 2020 showed that veterans under the age of 54, and veterans who joined the military after 2001, backed Biden over Trump.
Among veterans young enough to still be working, we’d need more detailed cross tabs to understand whether a majority of employed veterans, much less government employee veterans, voted Trump.
So for the individuals who did vote Trump, yes, this post fits. But for the group as a whole, of veterans who work in the government, I’m skeptical that they voted Trump over Harris.
It is not a misleading stat. The vast majority of Veterans voted for Trump: 60+ percent. It is that simple. You are trying to break them into groups but this is irrelevant to voting and why we have the Orange Turd in office.
The article is about veterans who were fired from federal jobs. That particular population, the subject of this article, probably voted for Harris over Trump in greater numbers.
I get your point now. You are focusing on the people in the jobs. My focus was on Veterans in general and how their voting effects all Veterans and their jobs. Sorry I was not clearer.
