“How important is veteran status for a candidate in these last days for those on Free Republic?”
Good question.
Not as easy to answer though, because not all veterans are the same.
Some veteran’s come home and act like John Kerry and some veterans are like Allen West. Both are veteran’s, both are men, albeit one 100% more manly than the other but not all veterans look at the world and world problems the same way, I prefer the ones that view those problems like former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush — “Peace through strength — Project power forward.” Never show weakness or vulnerably in the eyes of your enemies.
So, does being a veteran automatically mean you are going to get someone that will standup to the little third world shitholeastans that think they are in our league, that we be a resounding NO.
Would Governor Perry be better than obamadork or hillary...Oh hell yeah! Governor Perry after a brain aneurism would be better than obamadork or hillary. That’s my two cents.
Good points.
