Coming from the folks who are first in line to create veterans, put them in evil situations that inflict damage directly to the soul, fought tooth and nail not to treat anything, can't wait to cut, gut, and avoid benefits, are dedicated to their being no safety nets for anyone, and when called on the issue proceed to lie, spin, deflect, lie, and evade it is pretty damn hard to swallow and offensive.

If some weren't so fucking stupid and incapable of the most rudimentary efforts at reflection maybe the wouldn't be such vile racists.

The GOP is the main reason why there are so many homeless vets of any religion or non-religion.
