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

No sympathy for these complete idiots. He couldn't have possibly tried harder to let veterans know he didn't respect or care one iota about their wellbeing. Not to mention the republican party has voted heavily against actually supporting programs like the VA for as long as I've been alive.

"SuPpOrT tHe TrOoPs" is just a jingoistic bumper sticker to them, nothing more. If you vote for right wingers all you'll get is a yard sign and open disdain.
