Veterans Day and Purple Hearts

[JuliefromOhio]

Remember this? Biden will fix it.

Troops injured in Iran attack downplayed by Trump were denied Purple Hearts. Now, that may change.

In the weeks after the attack, the Trump administration sought to diminish the injuries troops had suffered. It wasn't until more than a month after the attack that the Pentagon acknowledged that more than 100 troops had suffered traumatic brain injuries from the 13 missiles that slammed into the base....................

Republicans have shown their disrespect for veterans for years. Remember how they slandered John Kerry's service? He volunteered for Swift Boats, but republicans argued that it wasn't all that dangerous...then they claimed he wounded himself. They slimed McCain because they said he was responsible for the disaster on the Forrestal and then that he was a traitor for his time as a POW....and completely ignored that "W" used family influence to jump to the head of a two year wait to stay out of the draft and get into a safe spot with the TANG...and then we had a guy with a fake DR's note that he had bone spurs....

Trump assassinated an Iranian general on Iraqi territory and could have more easily captured him and put him on trial. Instead he put our troops in danger and we had the Iranians launch missiles in retaliation. Trump wasn't ready for war so pretended the only damage was a few guys with headaches.

I don't understand it. I was a kid when Republican Dwight Eisenhower was president. He was honored and revered for his military service and as president. But something happened to Republicans after that prompting them to single out and trash veterans. Nothing's sacred to them anymore. I don't understand it.

Kennedy got some flack and was blamed for getting his PT boat rammed...but that was pretty much shouted down. Reagan didn't serve, but his vision was so bad he couldn't.
George HW Bush was a true war hero and they made a lot out of that when he ran.

Clinton escaped the draft, but didn't exactly dodge it...but that is not what republicans played to the voters.

Still some 20 years later after a retired WW II Veteran got his thanks from SCOTUS Rehnquist with a fabricated Islam misnomer & immaculate drug conception after Federal Lynching KKK churchstate of hate fiefdom enforcement "Eisenhower was a mass murderer war criminal" for disrupting "serve the Pope or die" & Islam "death to the infidels" Nazi economics with a concentration camp Mengele "Angel of Death" baptize thine eyes by urinations; there's still no equal justice under law in one nation under God of a Christiananality pedophilia national religion of suicidal super egos sociopsychopathilogical 9/11 homicidal human farming by thieving US Constitution arsonists.

Nothing tops your former president trashing the military....like POW John McCain, dismissing the injuries troops received when Iran retaliated and stopping them from getting Purple Hearts.
