Quote:It's a sad Veterans Day when our President elect dodged service to our country, called our POWs cowards for being caught, PTSD sufferers *****, agent orange victims fakes, badmouthing parents of fallen soldiers and equating his business "sacrifices" with that of soldiers. What a terrible dishonor to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I mean no disrespect by pointing out the elephant.

He has also said and done a lot of positive things for veterans and has made promises to do more for them than has been done in quite some time. I suppose it comes down to which comments one chooses to focus on. 

I get focusing on the negative is the en vogue thing to do both Nationwide and in this forum. I think there is one pro-Trump thread in the forum and countless negative. I just found it surprising to see the latest person join the lynch mob. You might want to relook your sig.

Please tell me the lots of positive things Trump has done for veterans?

(11-12-2016, 12:21 PM)GMDino Wrote: So far he has said bad things about individuals who served and nice things about what he will do for veterans in general.  Until he does those things (or at least tries) all we have are his words so far.

Trump has held a fund raiser for Veterans and has promised to address the biggest issue facing vets (The VA and mental health). 

I just found it ironic that someone with a sig saying he is tired of all the hate, throws a little fuel on the fire.
