'Salute and execute': A new generation of military veterans takes center stage as Trump remakes US foreign policy

^{Published on 2025-02-16 13:20:47 - CNN}

At the start of his first term, President Donald Trump filled several top jobs with retired generals
high-ranking veterans who served in leadership positions during the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The article from CNN discusses how former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, both military veterans, have publicly supported former President Donald Trump's policies on veterans' issues. They argue that Trump's initiatives, such as the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, have significantly improved the Department of Veterans Affairs by making it easier to fire underperforming employees and protect whistleblowers. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party, and Hegseth, a Trump supporter, highlight these reforms as evidence of Trump's commitment to veterans, despite criticisms from other groups about the effectiveness and implementation of these policies. They also mention Trump's efforts to expand healthcare options for veterans, allowing them to seek care outside the VA system, which they believe has been beneficial. However, the article notes that these views are not universally shared among veterans or policy analysts, with some pointing out ongoing issues within the VA system.
