The head of an Iraq and Afghanistan veterans group says they will decline donations from the fundraising event Donald Trump plans to hold Thursday night as he sits out the Republican primary debate.

Hi Friend, There is enough on Google and Bing search too.
It doesn't fit the “victim” persona we must understand. I am NOT saying that many of our heroes go through depression and hard times adjusting after coming home from war. My sweetheart did after serving in Nam. But he was strong, had super faith in God and got through sad times he had to deal with. Mainly loosing brothers in Nam.
What I am saying is that those who paint the picture that ALL our heroes are suffering from PTSD is a lie! And what has it done? Kept companies from hiring Veterans, thinking they might go off the deep end while working for them! When really, Veterans make the very best of employees!
I am 75 and learned a very long time ago to check things out. And it has helped me to cut down on mistakes I make in giving support when I shouldn't!
Paul Ripoff is a RAT tool
