Jesse Watters Urges Trump to Save Veteran from Pentagon Cuts

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed his concerns over the recent Pentagon cuts affecting federal employees, specifically highlighting the case of his friend, Chris, a 20-year military veteran. During an episode of The Five, Watters shared that Chris, who had only been at the Pentagon for a few months, was set to be laid off as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative. He criticized the Trump administration's approach to these layoffs, arguing that veterans like Chris should be prioritized over other roles such as DEI consultants. Watters conveyed Chris's distress over the news, emphasizing that veterans put their lives on the line and shouldn't be treated the same as non-veteran roles. The discussion included a back-and-forth with fellow panelist Harold Ford Jr., who challenged Watters' perspective. Watters concluded by urging for more compassion in handling such workforce reductions.
