DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!! Especially for the Corporate and Wealthy Community, investors in Defense Industries, and for these, Afghanistan and Iraq, came Two Huge Tax Cuts, with more sweetheart deals to same from states and the fed!!
March 14, 2016 - To hear Donald Trump brag about his support among veterans, one might think his candidacy was being universally embraced by former service members. “Every place I go, the veterans love me,” said Trump during a December appearance on “Fox and Friends.” He added: “I’m the only one, I bring it up all the time — the veterans in our country are being treated horribly, in many cases worse than illegal immigrants.”
{note: People served, especially wealthy and all conservatives: 2 Aug 2015 - 'I fight like hell to pay as little as possible': Donald Trump says he avoids all the tax he can. And that covers much more in the Deficits, like even paying for war policies and the results from and much more, then just the, grossly under funded thus not properly built nor properly maintained, and not conservative obstructionists pols concern, VA budgets!!} Speaking as a former Army medic who served in Afghanistan, I don’t know a single veteran who wants Trump to be our next commander in chief. In fact, veterans of my generation are largely appalled by his bigotry, and in particular, his relentless attacks on Muslims.
Trump may complain about “political correctness,” but veterans understand the link between violent rhetoric and real world brutality. Indeed, Trump already has given us a preview of his plans for wielding the most powerful military on Earth, including reinstituting the use of torture and targeting the families of enemy combatants. We cannot allow our politicians to be hatemongers, and while veterans across the country are denouncing Trump’s politics of intolerance, some of us have been bringing this message directly to the candidate.
Two weeks ago, on the morning before the South Carolina primary, I joined a group of nine other vets at one of Trump’s campaign stops in Myrtle Beach. We arrived wearing polo shirts, military baseball caps and blazers festooned with war medals — “conservative camouflage,” as one member of the team described our outfits. Blending in was important, because we’d heard Trump’s security would try to screen out anyone who didn’t look like an avid supporter.

At one point during the South Carolina rally, an angry supporter stalked over to confront us. She shoved forward a Trump campaign sign as if it were some kind of religious ward. “You should all be ashamed,” she said, practically spitting with fury. “You’re supposed to be defending American values.”
We had all agreed to a strict posture of non-engagement, but the former Marine standing next to me couldn’t help himself.
{note: Spot on response to a flag waving, Poser, patriot served and hasn't, DeJa-Vu, Sacrificed! And doesn't demand they should, especially the wealthy and corporate moguls, as to their oath to the few who serve and protect them:}“Ma’am,” he said, “that’s exactly what we’re doing.” read more>>>
Respect, and Tolerance, is a two way street!! You don't give, people aren't corporate con moguls who demand it to them, don't expect any!! And if you're going to claim 'christianity' Tolerance, and Respecting others, is what Jesus practiced and what the son of God expects from those preaching they follow his teachings!!
