No, but clearly vets are finding out Trump lied to them.

What drove vets to vote for Trump in the first place?

Military veterans remain a Republican group, backing Trump over Harris by wide margin

Veteran voters have long been more likely to align themselves with the Republican Party than the Democratic Party.

About six-in-ten registered voters who say they have served in the U.S. military or military reserves (61%) support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, while 37% back Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in early September.

Veterans’ vote preferences are on par with past elections. In 2020, 60% of veteran validated voters cast their ballot for Trump, while 39% backed President Joe Biden. And in 2016, veterans voted for Trump over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by a similar margin (61% to 35%)....

...According to the Census Bureau, about 6% of American adults have served in the military, a substantially smaller share than a few decades ago. In 1980, about 18% of U.S. adults were veterans.

Trump and the REPUBLICANS / MAGA are the right they are the ones lying to you and doing VETS harm.
The Dems and libs are the left.
You made the statement " How long before vets and active-duty military realize those on the --LEFT -- are not their friends? "
and it is the people on the RIGHT ( NOT LEFT ) that are in office now and are the ones cutting important programs for Vets.
I hope that helped and I am sure it was a mistake.

It appears neither major party gives a shit about the vets. Afterall, they are a very small voting block and getting smaller.

YEP but it is the Republicans that are in office now and have been cutting the VA budget and firing some people they need and now are trying to rehire them, and some of them are thinking to themselves if they fired me once they could fire me again for no reason at all AGAIN, so if they are like a Doctor / nurse people like that they are just going to look for a job in a more secure sector, and the VA and VETS are going to be fucked because of Musk's and Trumps stupidly.

Agreed. Nonetheless, that doesn't explain why 2/3s of vets voted for Trump in the first place. Note once, but three times; 2016, 2020 and 2024.

Why?
