Secretary Doug Collins isn’t backing down from the left’s attacks on veterans’ care. Under President Trump’s leadership, the VA has slashed disability claim backlogs to historic lows, putting hardworking patriots first. Collins says streamlining bureaucracy means faster help for heroes – but Democrats and their media allies keep pushing fear.
Left-wing critics claim veterans will lose benefits, but the facts don’t lie. Wait times are down, and 92% of vets now get same-day primary care appointments. “We’re cutting red tape, not care,” Collins fired back during a Fox News interview. The real threat? Politicians using vets as pawns to score cheap points against Trump.
Memorial Day should unite Americans, but the radical left can’t resist division. Collins called out Senator Elizabeth Warren for “scaring veterans with lies” about phantom benefit cuts. The VA’s budget actually grew 8% this year, with billions targeted to end veteran homelessness. Patriots see through the smears.
While bureaucrats whine about “streamlining,” combat veterans cheer results. Marine Corps Sgt. Joe Ramirez waited just 18 days for his disability claim approval – down from 6 months under Obama. “Finally, someone in DC respects our sacrifice,” he said. The media won’t report these success stories because they don’t fit their anti-Trump narrative.
Deep-state holdovers at the VA are the real problem. Collins cleaned house, firing 156 lazy federal workers who delayed care. Now 40 new clinics opened in rural areas, proving Trump delivers for forgotten America. The swamp hates efficiency because it shrinks their power.
Socialists want government-run healthcare for all, but the VA’s transformation shows competition works. Veterans now choose private doctors if wait times exceed 30 days. “Your health, your decision,” Collins declared. Freedom beats socialism every time.
This Memorial Day, remember the fallen by honoring living warriors. President Trump approved $12 billion for veteran mental health – the largest investment ever. While liberals virtue-signal, conservatives actually help veterans heal.
The left’s desperation shows Trump’s winning. They attack Collins because he’s cutting waste AND delivering results. Real patriots know – when our leaders put America first, veterans always win.
