America First means taking care of our own, not another war

You can’t be pro-troop and pro-neglect
We cannot claim to support our troops while ignoring them the moment they take off the uniform. Public displays of patriotism are meaningless when thousands of veterans are left to navigate broken systems, inadequate care, and, in too many cases, homelessness and despair.
It is difficult to justify pouring billions into another war when we have not fully honored the commitments we owe to those who have already served.
This is not a question of isolationism but of responsibility. National strength is not defined solely by military capability or willingness to engage abroad; it is grounded in the health, stability, and cohesion of the nation itself.
President Trump and Republicans campaigned on this, won in 2024 because of this, and now risk losing everything because they are turning their backs on the people who gave them an unprecedented mandate.
Every new conflict inevitably creates more veterans scarred by war, and if we are unable or unwilling to properly support the ones we already have, it is fair to ask what exactly we are preparing for.
Washington often speaks about defending democracy overseas, but what about our people, our prosperity, our future? Right now, those priorities appear inverted. We have veterans sleeping on the streets, families struggling under rising costs, and a debt crisis that threatens long-term economic stability, yet the focus in Washington remains on another war.
That is not America First. It is America distracted.
If we want to restore strength and stability, it begins by rebuilding at home, honoring our commitments, and ensuring that the people who have already sacrificed for this country are not forgotten.
