As Veteran From the war came home – from Vietnam, from Iraq, from Afghanistan – many of us stopped serving. We exchanged our uniforms for suits. Veterans closed that US State Department to. The US Agency for International Development (USAID). The Ministry of Commerce. The US Agriculture Ministry. And every authority who works abroad. We became the silent professionals who contributed to the fact that America remained competitive. Without giving a shot.
It was not just a civil servant. There were veterans from Falludschathat promoted agricultural development in Ethiopia. Doctors from Helmand, who became global health experts during the Ebola and Covid crisis. Marine soldiers for civil matters that stabilized fragile governments through USAID. The army logistician, which formed the backbone of disaster aid and the global safety of the supply chain. Former pilots who coordinate notes and air diplomacy on US messages worldwide. They were the people who wore the United States’ war efforts on their shoulders. And then helped to build a more stable, more peaceful world. Now they are thrown out like garbage.
The veterans, diplomats, analysts, engineers and civil servants of the external service who have kept our global lead intact are removed from the Federal Service in the context of dubious RIF orders (reduction in Force). And with something replaced that we have rarely seen in the upper ranks of the government. Empty suit wearers, yes-sager, podcaster,, Social media influencer and Political henchmen. To make matters worse, the men who lead this collaborated troop of the new American government are, according to incompetent, that you can’t even properly manage a group chat.
Experience is not easy substitute
The Foreign Ministry, USAI and the entire ecosystem of the foreign service are not a luxury. They are the way America is the world designed. Through trade agreements, technical standards, nutritional security, education and real relationships. These institutions help American companies to enter foreign markets. You write the rules so that US innovations are not buried under authoritarian bureaucracy. They combine us with allies, prevent wars and stabilize entire regions.
This experience is not easy substitute. She is lost. And the next time there is a humanitarian disaster, a strategic opening or a region that runs the risk of getting into Chinese or Russian hands and under economic influence, we will not have people who know what to do. And the government doesn’t care. While we dismantle our specialists, strengthens his teams for the construction of nations worldwide.
Every veteran that she releases at USAIAID, the Foreign Ministry or the Department of Veterans Affairs is a future conflict
If you believe that the Trump government wants to save with the dismissal of federal employees, they are wrong. These cuts will cost us much more in global influence, economic possibilities and national security. Every veteran that you released from USAI, the Foreign Ministry or the Department of Veterans Affairs is a future conflict that we have not prevented. A trade agreement that we have not won. A veteran who died through suicide and will never fight again. Or a region that we just left our opponents.
On the other side is No cent for the American taxpayers saved. But that will not stop the Maga world from promoting $ 5,000 discount checks of the so-called Ministry of Government Efficiency. That will never come. Or promise future arrests from “government fraudsters” that do not exist. Or to spread lies over “lazy” government employees who do four jobs at the same time. This is how empires fall. And we are first -hand witnesses.
For clicks, Bitcoin pump-and-dump systems and tax relief for billionaires
Over generations, veterans have contributed to building America’s golden age. Today it is exactly the people who have benefited from these victims who sell it. For clicks, Bitcoin pump-and-dump systems and tax relief for billionaires.
This is how the American century ends. Not with a bang, but with a rif, a “reduction in force”
