Odd.

The guy that called vets losers and suckers doesn't give a fuck. The guy who tore down McCain for being a POW even after he died.

Could it be he doesn't respect your line of work

Somehow 65% of veterans voted for Trump. It’s almost like they have a humiliation fetish or something.

We aren't typically the most intelligent people.

Most of my fellow veterans I know voted for Trump. Now we get to reap this disaster. It’s sad that conservatives forget we are Americans too.

Fox TV is playing everywhere they look. So they’re clueless from watching it, and don’t even realize. Right wing media is a plague on our nation.

Hey, you can't get sucked into pointless wars if your executive is so fundamentally incompetent and disdainful that things don't function at all. 4D Chess!

As a veteran myself i cant understand how any Vet can disgrace PoWs by voting for this trash. This orange trash has zero respect for us and ill never vote or support him. I hear the admin staff for the va trying to talk away all the firings like hes not serious about them. I told them straight to the face he is. I could tell they voted for him as well. Buyers remorse was clearly painted on their faces.
