The staggering hypocrisy from people who scream about veteran’s issues, honoring military service, and continually beat the drums of war while disregarding the same people in uniform by voting down legislation designed to help wounded warriors angers me.
I’m an Eisenhower Republican. I’m a Marine combat veteran. And I’m just disgusted at people taking aim at veterans. There are two ways this is done, and at least one of them is honest. Trump is honest. I can respect that. He’s a dirtbag, but he’s honest about it. He openly and brazenly attacks veterans, even highly decorated war heroes like John McCain. Scumbag move but I can respect the honesty.
Then you have career politicians like Bush (the whole damn family) and Perry who pretend to care about veterans, and jump into the fray to defend their honor when said veteran is a member of their political party. However, when it’s someone who doesn’t agree with their ideology, all bets are off.
The veteran community should be angry at Trump, but I think it’s more important to look at the people who wave flags and publicly support the troops one minute and then turn their backs on them when the cameras fade. That would be most of the politicians I have seen elected these days, and quite frankly many of them running for President.
