Quite frankly as a Veteran I was embarrassed, and even felt insulted last night.

Why? A soldier asked a political question at a political forum and some people disagreed with his politics and booed him.

And this is somehow a big freaking deal?

Again I ask why?

Is it not possible to support the soldier and dislike his policy preferences?

Signed, a former soldier.

Yes it is a big freaking deal. About 20-25% of the Military are Democrats and yes I disagree with their politics. But I am not going to boo them. They deserve my thanks for serving, regardless of their political leaning. And the Liberals are already using the soundbite with the caption Republican audience boos Gay soldier, when we know it was only a few.

Agreed. Megyn Kelly has an agenda on this issue.
