President Biden’s unconstitutional executive order allocating $430 billion for student-debt forgiveness is being framed by the administration and its media cheerleaders as a lifeline for current and former students. But how do veterans feel about it, considering that the White House, in an effort to carry out its plan, is exploiting a law originally intended to benefit service members and others?

According to a poll of 6,202 veterans conducted by Mission Roll Call, a leading veterans’ advocacy organization, 76 percent said they disapprove of the push to forgive student-loan debt for those who haven’t served in the military.
