And I understand your anger at Pres. Trump dismissing soldiers wounded in battle or killed quickly or slowly and considering them losers for dying.
My uncle is resting comfortably in College Station after 20 years (1941-1961) as a major in the Air Force and some consulting after in Vietnam at 101. His oldest brother and my mother's brother fought in the infantry and airborne. Both divorced their wives with children and married again during the war. Both had PTSD. Became alcoholics. The first became a Chicago cabdriver with emphysema that resulted in his death early. The other left his business, his second wife and three children to disappear until he died early.

For FOUR YEARS he spoke like a mad man with NO empathy for anyone. He only thought of himself as becoming a ruler like a dictator. What he did to the LIVING is what I call genocide. THEN he disrespected the veterans who DIED for this country! He called veterans losers!
He is a coward and a draft dodger who faked his bone spurs to stay out of the service.
On the other hand... my DAD as well as many of your DADS and family members were all HEROS by enlisting and serving THIS country and not kissing up to dictators of other countries.
OUR country fights over there, so WE don't need to fight over here! We will remain a FREE country with no dictator in power over the people in the USA............ AMEN and PEACE
