Burial services are provided by the National Cemetery Administration which is a part of the VA. That service has not (yet) been cut. Hopefully your metaphor is not prescient.
I get that people should not be surprised when the face eating leapord they voted for eats their face. But not everyone voted for him and less voted for these cuts to VA.
If not sympathy, try empathy. I hope we do not wind up in a future where Veteran are responsible for digging their own graves.
This is a honeypot trap to catch vampires.
