More stolen valor bullshit. I’m old enough to remember in the 80s and early 90s that they blamed the homeless drug abuser problem on unfortunate vets whose heads were screwed up by the ‘criminal police action’ coupled with addiction from rampant drug use in Viet Nam. Then investigative journalism proved that less than 0.01% of drug abusers on the street who claimed tbey were Viet Nam vets actually were and it was all lies to justify their situation and get sympathy. Investigative journalism showed Viet Nam vets were among the most productive members of society whose only real issues were access to good VA benefits. Full stop.

So, eff you Massie. Israel is also getting more money than research into migration of LGBTQ Monarch butterflies. And for good reason. STFU.

Learn to recognize the difference between a real story and made up attention whoring.
