In this powerful episode of The Forgotten Oath, combat veteran and author Donald Dunn (Echoes of War: The Silent Transition of a Soldier) exposes the harsh realities facing America’s veterans. With 83,000 VA jobs on the chopping block and a $1.8 billion partnership between the VA and HUD aimed at ending veteran homelessness, Donald questions whether these efforts address the root causes—or simply create more red tape.
Donald reflects on his own 68 months of deployment across Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and dives deep into how 20 years of war have left a lasting impact on multiple generations of veterans. He challenges the government’s lack of preparation, the ongoing mental health crisis, and the broken promises that too many service members face after returning home.
