The military does not vote for Democrats and the Democrats only do what is in their personal and collective best interests. They could care less about the military and prefer to cater to their own constituencies: the indolent, the lazy, the grifters, the criminals, the self indulgent, the useless in society.
I, a Democrat, care about our veterans. I'm running because I care and My opponent voted for this trash. I don't cater to the dependency part of society. I'm a Jeffersonian Anti-Federalist and believe in the founding ideals of a strict interpretation of the Constitution, limited federal power, and State sovereignty.
Those who have sacrificed for their country just do not count in the political equation.
They count in MY political equation. I won't turn My back on those who have sacrificed to keep America free.

I thank you for your comments and have no doubt of your sincerity. But, you are no Democrat, at least as the party is currently organized and operating. If you win, you will either find yourself coerced into voting as the party wishes, or you will be completely marginalized. They will destroy you, unless you agree to support their agenda.
When Democrats do support veterans, military retirees, and their families, they do so from a posture of condescension and sanctimonious expressions of superiority. Those stupid enough to volunteer to serve in our nation’s military are to be pitied and reviled, but as Democrats are wont to do, they will be cared for by the magnanimous elites provided that they support the party of the enlightened. Today’s veterans have done what no Democrat could ever do, sacrificed for the good of the country.
You, sir, are in the wrong party.
