      That is so obviously something his majority-undereducated followers would disapprove of.

            Yes, but it is not automatic, despite the government literally having all the information already so they should be able to, blame Congress as usual. And quite often the way to begin that process is not mentioned to those that would qualify. It’s clearly one of the many areas the military doesn’t handle well.

            For those that need it, a link to check eligibility and get the forms necessary:

                There’s also the chance that they’ll get deported after service because they weren’t given adequate support for PTSD and/or TBI.

                Disgusting as it is, all the more reason to make sure these individuals know what they qualify for and get them everything they deserve.

                The poor support we have for our veterans and first responders in this country after they’re out is ridiculous with the amount we pay for it. The VA isn’t immune from the US healthcare bullshit lobbied for by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries to line their pockets. Remove the shit they have managed to drive into the system for decades and our current spending would go a lot further, and increasing that funding at that point would get us to a more reasonable point. Instead they’re fighting about shit like whether having soldiers near burning pits of hazardous materials is bad for their health or not.

      This does not benefit the average Trump voter, this only benefits the owners and investors of private healthcare businesses as it will allow them to employ filipinos and indian doctors and nurses with cheap salaries

          That’s assuming they’re treated properly and not subjected to unreasonable expectations just because management knows they can hold the worker’s visa over his head.

            Not to mention that hiring immigrant workers means lowering the chance of hiring someone with an intimate knowledge of workers rights, making it easier to pull illegal shit without repercussions.

              Statistically, it’s much more likely that someone from outside the USA will know and care about worker rights (or even be aware of the concept that voters — or even citizens — can have any rights other than free speech and the right to carry guns) than someone from the USA… most countries have at least some form of workers rights, and some unionisation culture and history, while in the US they’re effectively inexistent…
