Bernie Sanders Makes Brutally Honest Point About Vets During GOP Debate [View all]

You can always count on Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders to speak his mind. His blunt disposition was on full display during the fourth Republican presidential debate on Tuesday evening.

On Twitter, Sanders lambasted the Republican candidates on an array of topics, from the minimum wage to Social Security. But his most brutally honest and pertinent point came on the subject of veterans and America’s failure to properly honor their service and sacrifice.

We already have the biggest military in the world, yet veterans sleep out on the streets. Will Republicans talk about this?

The US spends more on defense than any other country in the world and it excels at warfare. But when the people that fight its wars return home they often end up homeless.
