Buttigieg receives endorsement from progressive veterans group

WASHINGTON (WNDU) - VoteVets, the largest progressive group of veterans in America, is endorsing South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg for president.

It is the first presidential endorsement for the group, which represents more than 700,000 veterans, military families and civilian supporters.

"We need a candidate who will win," VoteVets Chairman Jon Soltz says in a release. "Bar none, Pete gives us the best shot at doing just that. It is time to rally around him, and stop the walking, talking national security threat that is Donald Trump."

Buttigieg is a veteran himself. He took a leave of absence as mayor of South Bend in 2014 and was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months.

"I'm honored to have this endorsement from my fellow veterans as we seek to take on our nation's most urgent challenges and pick up the pieces and put the country back together after Trump," Buttigieg says in the release.

He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2017.

Buttigieg has vowed to bring all U.S. troops home from Afghanistan within his first year as president.

How many from among that group are honorably discharged Veterans of the U.S. Military?

Not many, one suspects.

This is my local VFW post commander:

“I’m not sure if any of the organized groups ever documented the case of an extraordinary infantry soldier, Sergeant Major Jennifer Long (SGM E-9) who, having served several tours in the Middle East, was called back to Afghanistan after she had begun her medical transition. She found Army doctors who helped continue her “stealth” transition while she excelled in achieving her mission and was awarded a bronze star for combat valor! Now retired, SGM Long continues to show her leadership as Post Commander of her VFW post in Kearny NJ which organized sending 900 care packages to the NJ National Guard personnel posted overseas for the 2014 Holidays. Her work is not unnoticed by the NJ State VFW and she has taken a leadership position with the State VFW for veterans’ advocacy. Politically able and willing, she is an officer of the NJ Democratic State Committee LGBT Caucus.”

Once the military became an armed Red Cross, it made social engineering much easier.

BS “vet” group. If I had more time or care,I could rip them apart but the left always deceives gullible people just like “Christian” liberal groups.

Probably a bunch of left-wing homosexuals who joined the military to check out the normal men in the showers.

Disgusting!

Buttplug is NOT a "veteran".

He sat behind a desk in Kabul for 18 months working for a (miserably failed) CIA-DEA-DOD operation to "deny opium profits to the Taliban". How'd that work out? When he left their profits were at an all-time high. Or was that the CIA's goal?

VoteVets: "...[None] other than John Kerry himself who had counseled Soltz on his anti-victory activism. As reported by Fox News Channel and The Riehl World blog, 'Soltz ... thanked Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry, who opposed the Vietnam War after returning from combat, for helping him to focus his disillusionment after returning from Iraq.' (They have the video to back it up too, which you can watch. .... Yet, left-wing activists have been engaged in a fierce campaign to undermine the war effort. No news there, but what is alarming is the degree to which they are organized, funded, and orchestrated. Jon Soltz has emerged to become the front man in their campaign to betray our troops and force them to declare defeat in Iraq. On Wednesday, Move America Forward Vice Chairman, Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (USAF, Ret.) confronted Soltz on his political activism at the same time he is serving in the reserves – a violation of the U.S. Military's Uniform Code of Military Justice. "Busted!

Check out Conservapedia on votes for vets. Tells you all you need to know.

They took out ads against McCain, a Vet, when he ran for President. But they supported non-vet Obama. Wesley Clark is one of the board advisor’s.
