Non GOP Veterans Are Considered Unpatriotic Traitors To Republicans.

GOPPERS seem to believe that all veterans should be Republican. Being otherwise betrays the flag and country in their view. Based on how Democratic candidates are attacked and have been attacked in previous election cycles that conclusion is about the only one you can come to.

When you look at what is said about Tammy Duckworth, and what was done to John Kerry and add what was done to Max Cleland it makes your blood boil. I get furious with the meme that wounds and medals are ONLY valuable only if you are a GOPPER. Demeaning the service of Democratic veterans is unacceptable.

The Purple Heart crap with Trump was just disgusting. I would have put that prick on a plain and out in front of an ISIS attack where he could earn it.

That is why even the sight of a Republican is a "red flag to a bull" for me. I do not consider Trump supporters as fellow Americans and do not care if something bad happens to them. Trump supporters I am aware of are mean, vicious and hateful scum. They deserve a shit shower.

This vet wouldn't vote for Trump under any circumstances. I gave up on Repubs in general many years ago.

I agree that Trump represents a threat to the Constitution I swore to defend.

is a lifelong Dem and hates all that Trump represents. In my oath, I swore to defend our country and the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic....Trump is the enemy and I will never vote for him.

all I have to say is that I am damn proud to have served in the United States Navy.

That organization taught me, among other things, the value of respect for others.

The GOP is a scam...
