I may just be surrendering to stereotypes, but I'd expect the general population of veterans to lean strongly towards being Trump supporters. How easy will it be to "support" them without finding yourself supporting a pro-Trump rally as well? I mean, I understand that the Veterans' Administration is being targeted for something like 80,000 layoffs by the end of the month. And I understand that veterans, in general, have priority in hiring for federal jobs, and so are bearing a disproportionate percentage of the DOGE hits to federal jobs. But that doesn't mean the veterans who show up to be 'supported' aren't going to be overwhelmingly Trump supporters, and maybe they'll make that known.

An interesting thought. From what I have read in veterans comments they also seem to be strong supporters of Ukraine and certainly not Russia.
We will have to wait and see what happens on Friday.
