The #Kremlin uses the church to push nationalist #propaganda. It promotes the #war, and its priests are recruiting #soldiers to the meat grinder, even enabling war crimes by claiming that “#Russian war dead have their sins forgiven.”

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from VA

Veterans are speaking out on the Trump administration’s plans to cut the VA’s budget
"Some historians trace the beginning of the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Senate’s decision to reduce the soldiers’ pension. With less incentive to join the army, the Roman citizens turned to different careers. The Senate then filled the ranks of the army with Barbarians, diminishing the cohesion and discipline. These decisions are major contributing factors that lead to the fall of Rome. A cautionary tale to not mess with a veteran’s pension and post service benefits."
