Speaking as a veteran, Trump voting veterans are going to turn on him.

Trump crossed a line and all veterans will take notice. Veterans are very protective of their own. When it comes to our troops there are some things you cannot do, no matter who you are. Trump did one of those things, not protecting the troops.

I don't know how many veterans voted for Trump, but I bet it's in the millions. Many of them are going to turn on Trump.

The generals must be seething over all this but those still in service will remain quiet. The retired ones....speak the f*** up!!!! And I think you are right, to the degree that vets can get past Fox News and hear the message, this will not be ignored. Biden and the DNC need to be making hay with this stuff and get targeted messaging out.
