Veterans didn't used to use their service for political gain. |

My grandfather never talked about his service, not even his Bronze Star. Now we have a veteran who is running on his record of torture at the hands of the enemy. A WWII veteran would never do this.
I'm not a veteran, but it makes me angry to watch this. You'd think vets would try to work to prevent war, and prevent the horrors they experienced, not propagate it.
I can't take it anymore- I'm gonna watch the Vandy-South Carolina game.

1. Did Bob Dole or George HW do anything like this? |
|
Okay, they weren't POW's, but they were injured.

Most of this has to be made up shit...guys that went through this, IMO, do not talk about it.
My dad was an MP in Germany and saw some ugly shit in the concentration camps ~~ no way in hell he would ever bring that subject up for any reason.
McCain is a liar, IMO: Real heroes don't talk about it.

7. I'm tired of seeing our fallen exploited for political gain. |

Thanks for the thread from a vet, the wife of a vet, the granddaughter of a vet and the mother of a vet.
