Re “The confusion of the ripple effect of VA reduction” (News article, March 11):
Elon Musk and his colleagues exploded through the Veterans Secretariat. Government efficiency department amateurs do not distinguish essential services from waste, fraud and abuse. And the result is a confusion that harms real people.
This is a case study with a bad policy ruling. VA is not perfect, but many programs provide services to Americans with serious demands, showing that the government sometimes works. The state cannot provide all the services needed for Veterans, so large -scale expensive federal agencies that go beyond the founder’s understanding.
In 1789, the US population was almost 4 million. VA currently offers more than 9 million veterans.
The government may be the best when the government dominates less, but sympathy and common sense should prevail.
Trump does not understand that confusion is never the end. If the ruthless cost reduction on the executive will produce a better government, President Trump will be eligible to glory as a great president. But if he simply produces a more fragmentary and unequal society, history will be unkind to him.

Re “Veterans Affairs Department plans to remove more than 80,000 workers” (News article, nytimes.com, March 5):
My family is full of military service staff dating back to the revolutionary war. (We have documents!) Mother and sister were nurses of Veterans Military Business Hospital and Clinic. There is nothing like men and signs as those of the government’s signs, no military service, or nevertheless, in order to reduce or cancel the service to veterans, or to cancel the service to Veterans.
There was report Complex pharmacies for chemotherapy, terminations of VA to end the treatment and cancer treatment of radiation instruments that diagnose and track diseases.
They have a direct impact on people like my daughter -in -law with orange -related cancer on Vietnamese tours. It is impossible to be convinced that the service of the Veterans’ service will flourish and survive much less in the face of bold reductions of employees.
How can we be automatically reacted when we were real to our veterans when we were realized for our veterans?

I know that the 82 -year -old Vietnam War Veteran is eliminating the benefits of slowing or surviving budget cuts.
Are there any leaders who will be willing to stop the team of the White House and Elon Musk to stop democracy?

Reduction of the US Embassy and Consular Hall
To the editor:
Re “The state department to close the mission and thin the rank” (News article, March 7):
The enormous reduction in the US embassy and consulate will have a miserable result in our country.
As a retired career diplomat, I have seen a way that overseas missions suffer from American citizens. When one of them lost his passport, when he was robbed or sick, the consulate could be helped immediately.
And these emergencies may not only occur in the capital city, but also the consulate may soon be closed even in popular places such as Florence and Strasbourg. If this happens, it will help you for hours.
The diplomat advocates US companies in the city, such as Hamburg, and has another threat consulate. At a small embassy in Africa, where I am an ambassador, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working with local law enforcement agencies to respond to terror and international crimes and to cooperate with local law enforcement agencies to protect important maritime transportation lanes.
If you close your diplomatic mission and reduce your employees, you will undermine national security and danger US citizens. It’s time to harm this wise plan.
