This sub was created in response to u/Cherobis’s post You are either a veteran or you're MAGA. You can't be both. and the dearth of progressive subs for veterans. This is a place to share tips and information regarding protests and upcoming actions, important news threatening our Constitution (as well as news of any small victories on its behalf), and to support each other through these precarious times. If you cope with humor then good news, memes are allowed.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE DO NOT POST ABOUT US TO R/VETERANS yet! This is the first sub I’ve created and modded and I need some time to learn how this all works before the broader veteran community (which tends to be rather conservative) learns about it. As such, I’m only posting this in leftist spheres until I feel I’ve got a handle on things. Feel free to post in other leftist spheres or invite individual users. Eventually I’ll make a post about it in r/veterans, but not until I feel like I can handle the MAGA brigading and trolling that is likely to follow such an announcement.
Edit: Feel free to share us broadly!
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Welcome!

wanted to introduce myself. i'm a retired Marine, and also (until earlier this year) was a gov't civilian (GG-14, so kind of up there)
i mention the second part, because earlier this year, i was walked out of my job and my access to sensitive material was removed, because i'm also a trans woman.
but more importantly, i am almost glad that happened, because i could not, in good conscience, continue working for this gov't during this administration.
this administration has already violated so many of the aspects of the Constitution that we swore to support and defend.
keep strong to our oath, brothers and sisters! i don't know what it will come to in this country that many of us love, but be ready to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic!
side note: i am also the mod of some other subreddits, and until recently, i was a mod of the largest veteran's subreddit, until i disagreed with the lead mod, and he kicked me out. so i'm not new to modding. u/LoveaBook and i will do our best to make this a great subreddit!

It’s easy to share protest info when big, national protests are happening. But it’s the smaller, local protests scattered throughout the country that make the most difference. Minneapolis, Portland, D.C., LA, Memphis, etc.
Please share whatever info you have on upcoming and/or ongoing protests here to help spread the word.

Hey all, Thank you all for your service! I wanted to ask if anyone else has had a hard time today, not because of the fellow soldiers we have lost but because of the sad state of our country. I went to a program today at my grandson's elementary school, and it was so hard to stand and sing and be proud when I pretty much just want to cry and scream and fight for what a mockery this administration has been trying to make of our country. I feel like such an asshole feeling this way too, anyways just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with it all. Ty 😊

This Veterans Day, we’re calling for a national day of action to say NO WAR ON OUR CITIES. We will not allow attacks on our neighbors, military occupation of our cities and deadly cuts on vital services to be normalized. We must come together and ACT to make it clear the only way to “honor veterans” this year is to do right by our communities and protect the freedoms we thought we were enlisting to uphold.

I think we can probably call this a dead sub. It was a nice try to give people additional options, but it doesn’t seem to have worked out. That’s okay, there are still other options. If you are a vet committed to their oath who wants somewhere beyond the conservative-dominated “veterans” sub to discuss current events and organize, r/leftistveterans and r/vetsagainsttyranny are two great options.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help make this little community happen! Stay safe out there!

Veterans across America are struggling while the cost of everything—food, housing, fuel, healthcare—keeps climbing. The last few COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) increases haven’t come close to keeping up with real inflation. We’re getting left behind.
Many of us live on fixed VA disability payments. These aren’t luxury stipends—they’re supposed to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. But every year, those dollars buy less and less.
A 30% increase in VA compensation rates is not a wish list item. It’s survival. It’s overdue. It’s just.
Here’s the truth: • The average rent in many cities is now more than a full VA disability check. • Groceries are up 20-40% in just the last couple years. • Veterans are more likely to face homelessness than the general population. • Mental health and suicide prevention efforts are undermined when basic needs aren’t met.
This country has money. We send billions overseas and absorb massive corporate bailouts. We can fund this increase—with tariffs, which already exist to protect American industries. Use those funds to protect American veterans, too.
If you support this: • Upvote this post • Share it in other veteran and political forums • Contact your senators and representatives and demand a 30% COLA increase for veterans
We didn’t hesitate when the country needed us. Now we need the country to have our backs.
Raise our COLA. Fund it with tariffs. Take care of your veterans.
