I received a fund raising appeal from the organization Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in today's mail.

I am a retired Army officer but not a disabled veteran. I don't know how DAV got my name and address.

The letter went to some length to claim that DAV is fighting for disabled veterans. However, there was no reference to project 2025's plan to cut benefits for disabled veterans.

I don't know if this is cowardice on their part or simple negligence.

The failure to reference Project 2025 was not the result of ignorance. I favor the theory that DAV doesn't want to anger MAGA types when asking for money.

My brother is a retired Army officer and drawing VA disability from a service-connected injury. He refuses to believe that Trump plans to cut-off his disability payments. He also refuses to read Project 2025 for himself or believe that Trump will implement Project 2025. Trump has disavowed Project 2025 and that's good enough for him.

my best guess is that they are trying to remain politically neutral to solicit donations from as wide a spectrum of potential donors as possible.
