Trump secured three pay raises for our troops and their families including the largest pay raise in over a decade.

Not quite correct:

Basic pay for the military did increase by 2.4 percent on Jan. 1, 2018 — the largest in eight years. But pay increases are determined by a statutory formula, and Trump in fact requested an amount below the automatic adjustment for 2018. Congress overrode the president’s proposal, and Trump ultimately agreed to fully fund the increase as determined by federal law.

Trump didn't secure the pay raise, he wanted to pay them less but was overruled. The other pay raises were also mandatory.

The increase under Trump was also only 2.4%, and the most in 8 years (not "over a decade"). Meanwhile the increase under Biden was 5.2%, the most in decades, plural, more than 20 years.

He rebuilt the military after 8 years of neglect under the previous administration with over $2.2 trillion in defense spending, including $738 billion for 2020.

Spending in defense =/= good for servicemen and veterans. The vast majority of military spending does not go to personnel.

He created the space force as well which was the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces since 1947.

Splintering the USAF off and creating the Space Force arguably does not help the country. For one, the organisations' mandates and domains are so similar that the difference does not provide benefit (NASA covers both aeronautics and space, for good reason). Second, this makes it easier for enemies of the US to determine how much is being inveseted in space activities through separate public disclosures, making it harder for the US to maintain its military lead.

He vetoed the FY21 National Defense Authorization Act, which failed to protect our national security, disrespected the history of our veterans and military, and contradicted our efforts to put America first.

Trump vetoed a bill that had an overwhelming bipartisan majority behind it, knowing full well that his veto would be overruled. That's not a real veto, that's just for show, just to give him something to complain about on social media. The veto was also an attempt to halt funding to federal agencies, a common tactic of the Republican party, and one that hurts actual service members requiring them to continue working without pay.

He protected America’s defense-industrial base, directing the first whole-of-government assessment of our manufacturing and defense supply chains since the 1950s.

Trump also stole classified documents and leaked them to Russia. Him running an "assessment" of US defense supply chains is more about him providing intel to foreign adversaries.

He also helped our Veterans out by giving them the ability to go to whatever doctor they want to go to so they would no longer have to wait so long that some of them were dying to be seen at the VA.

He helped the US healthcare industry by giving them more customers and overruled the VA's pricing system, such that the taxpayer pays more to exploitative corporations.

And I believe that he would have done much more for our military if he wasn’t being held down by all of phony Russia collusion nonsense.

HAH. Trump has always been in bed with Russia, this has been public knowledge since the 80s. His young girl talent agencies were involved with Russian human trafficking.

You've got your head buried in the sand. Trump would rather gut and gimp the military so the US can roll over for Russia.
