And if you start thinking, well, we'll just bomb Iran and that'll be it.
Really?
Like you and I, we were attack pilots.
You know, there is a need.
If you're talking about regime change, if that's the objective, you know.
Bombing doesn't always change the regime.
Now, are we going to put troops on the ground in a country that's four times the size of Iraq?
Yeah, and that leads me to the next thing.
So while this buildup is happening and we're right about ready to possibly go to war, sending our troops, you know, in harm's way, the VA is now changing how it determines disability ratings, right?
So they've come out with this new rule.
I'm sure you're aware of this, Nicole, where the rating is now not based on your medical condition directly, but it's based on how your medical condition is after you take medication.
And this is a huge change for the VA.
And so I'm going to get your take on this, but I just want to say that
This administration under Republican leadership, this is screwing over vets.
All right.
We're impacting six million veterans who currently receive disability compensation.
And I just let me get your take.
It doesn't.
You're penalizing veterans for getting treatment.
And so, you know, you talk about things like mental health issues or chronic pain conditions that may rely on medication.
