Wow. Amazing troop support there. Almost like republicans don’t support their troops.

This is the system that conservatives set up. They did not have to link it to war, it could have been linked to any action. But, instead, they made it hard for families.

“He’s not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” --Donald Trump, RE: John McCain (2015)
Trump hates veterans and is incredibly jealous when veterans, or anyone for that matter, gets any sort of recognition for anything because he is a raging narcissist and thinks that he is the center of the entire universe.
Veterans are just cannon fodder for the GOP. Used as a political prop and immediately discarded when the bill comes due.

"They chose to defend their country" I always hear this bullshit, how are people this bad at history? The army has never defended the country since you AND your parents were born. I find it hard to feel sorry for these people.
