Mostly that she seemingly is throwing out of there that she is a veteran who was deployed in Iraq, it’s not like a badge of honor, it’s deeply shameful. (So mostly vibes and I might well be wrong.)
tangent
but any veteran who feels the need to throw out how he/she is a veteran irks me out. It mostly seems like there still is this persistent thought that veterans are somehow special and not people who were (consciously or not) used as an unimaginable brutal weapon that enforces hegemony of an empire through death and misery

Ig thats fair, I see where you’re coming from and that definitely is a thing that happens a lot.
Personally I interpreted this more as being used to further kinda insult Trump, because he and associates claim to respect and venerate veterans so much (though ofc he doesn’t actually that much) and she is using that status to say ‘hey, I’m a part of this group you like and also trans and a group you hate, fuck you’
I don’t think this person has much remorse of what she has done
And what exactly are you basing that on?

Yeah, I’m speculating too much anyway. I don’t know this person and should assume the better. At least we can get together on hating trump lmao
