I dont know about that bear, seems to me he has a big point, afterall they are our troops and they deserve our support, maybe we have to be adults and just deal with it.
Our politicians are elected to represent our interests, all of them.
If they won’t do so, then we have a burden to vote elsewhere.
The burden rests with R-politicians to support our troops, and we support our politicians. It is not the voter that has failed, but the politicians that have.
