I'm hearing that the USFS has laid off huge numbers of firefighters, including veterans, and won't be allowed to hire their usual seasonal firefighting force this year.

Fuck around = laying off many thousands of combat veterans
Find out = creating a small army of combat-trained Luigis
I might be wrong, but it seems like we're a ways from right winger on right winger violence.
The 2nd most recent attempted assassination was by a Republican. Also democrats join the military too.
True, but pew says, "63% of veteran voters identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, while 35% are Democrats or Democratic leaners."
So it seems like 2/3 of the military are likely to be republicans. Not sure how that factors into radicalization but I assume republicans are going to be less inclined to rebel. But I'm not an expert.
