Well, all that lack of support for veterans during the Obama years kinda hurt Hillary badly, so what do they think they have to offer vets now but more of that misery? Way to insult the vets.

Sure, I mean, between the VA treatment and attacks on gun owning vets...

I think they hope for some of the trans and feminine Manning betraying personnel

“They’re crazy, Jim.”

Maybe not.

They’re so manipulative, insidious and perfidious, that they can probably pull it off.

IMHO

It sounds like they’re using their 2006 playbook. It’s not going to work again.

Let me restate that.

Their 2006 playbook isn’t going to work again unless they pull off engineering some kind of unimaginable crisis in the USA at large. Even then I don’t think they’ll take control of the House.

If they do that ...there will be an even bigger backlash,,,,and more dims get exited from Congress.

if they could find 80 female vets with their legs blowed off, they’d be a shoo-in.

Their 2006 playbook worked for one very important reason. By 2006, Americans found it repulsive that their government would piss away hundreds of billions of dollars on military campaigns all over the world while allowing -- no, promoting -- a Latin American invasion right here at home.

I'm sure President Trump has all of this figured out even if the Republicans in Congress don't.

Last this point, they can’t afford to go to war, much less pay attention.

The DNC is currently $6 million in the hole

RNC is sitting on more than $50 million cash.

Pffft!

Crazy, but plausible. In the industry that I work in, about 50% of the new hires are out of the military. Out of that 50%, about 2/3 are flaming leftist snowflakes.

Whatever the obama regime did during his reign, they really, REALLY, seriously f!@#ed up the military.

I wish it weren’t so.

All the more need to shitcan any and ALL the leadership who served under the obama regime.

I was in the USMC. Just because one is a Veteran doesn’t mean you aren’t a lunatic. Some military people and some Veterans are lunatics.

Veterans are no different than the general population. A large number are liberal.

Somewhere between 15% and 20% of Vets are liberal/progressive/Democrat.

Same as on active duty.

And it’s always been that way.

Personally, I a bit wary of a Veteran of the United States Armed Forces that agrees with the Democrats that Law Abiding American Citizens do not have the God Given Right of Self Defense at outlined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

What is even scarier is that those same Veterans would agree with the Democrats that our God Given Right to Free Speech as outlined in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution can be limited based on their being offended by something someone else says.

What exactly did these Veterans join the Military for in the first place, free Sex Reassignment Surgery?

This made me laugh, as I remembered discussion about arming military members on base.

At first I was like, hell yes. And then after reflecting, I thought, you know, I worked with people I wouldn't want near a handgun.

Democrats can’t even fake patriotism. This is just a fart in the wind.

They tried that here in the Missouri senate race. Made a big deal out of being a vet (assembled a weapon blindfolded in an ad), but still lost to limpwristed RINO roy blunt.

A vet acceptable to the democrat party by definition is going to be carrying a lot of socialist, hate America baggage.
