I was reading about this earlier today and I'm still baffled. He is honestly saying that he thinks giving a monetary contribution directly to himself makes someone better than a person who sacrificed themselves to give idiots like him the freedom to make an ass of themselves. I really hope every single veteran sees this and realizes that voting for Trump de-values your contribution. Please know that most of us do actually respect and appreciate your service!

Knowing what we know about the man, how is this a surprise anymore?

As a veteran... I don't hold a lot of hope that veterans or soldiers are smart enough to recognize this.

You're welcome. AFAIK nobody I severd with or the vets I know support Capt. Bone Spurs.

John Kerry was eviscerated by the press for throwing his medals/ribbons at a protest, but Trump gets a pass? Corp. Media needs to change back to local broadcasting with market limited ownership.
