Very few vets that I know of will vote for a DemocRAT. Myself being one of them. The old adage of voting for the person, and not the party no longer applies. The Democratic Party is the party of evil. It is the refuge of rich old white men who use the party for their own ends. If you are pro God, guns and life, you are not welcome in the Democratic Party. If you are a Democratic politician, I can only assume you are so for one of two reasons...greed or totalitarianism. You are there to enrich yourself or you are there because you want to control other people. Or both.
So what makes these vets service more relevant and their opinions more valid than the scores of vets who sit on the right side of the aisle???
Your #5 is an excellent post. Accurate and succinct.
