Donald Trump always says he loves and respects veterans. He says he intends to listen to their needs and respond to their concerns. He’s even raised money for them and then refused to hand any of it out until he was publicly shamed by the media. But what the so-called president did this week has […]
The most memorable–and most debated–moment from Tuesday evening’s joint address to Congress by Donald Trump is when he honored the fallen Navy SEAL who died during a raid in Yemen. Trump asked the widow of Ryan Owens, Carryn Owens to stand and be recognized, but it soon became clear she didn’t necessarily want to stand […]
You may want to sit down for this news, because it’s truly horrifying, especially if you happen to be a veteran: Sarah Palin is being considered to run the Veteran’s Administration. NEW: Sarah Palin under consideration for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, sources tell @ABC News. –@shushwalshe — ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) November 30, 2016 Online […]
As part of a Q&A session with retired veterans held in Herndon, Virginia, Donald Trump was asked about the problem of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which is one of the most frequent problems experienced by bets when they return from combat duty.

For example: Trump is fond of saying that he supports veterans. Then he turns around and says John McCain […]
Lieutenant Cameron H. Kerr is a veteran who served his country honorably in Afghanistan and lost a leg while serving. As a result, he earned–among other honors–a Purple Heart. So he, like many wounded veterans, was a bit peeved when Donald Trump accepted the gift of a Purple Heart from a veteran earlier this week […]
Donald Trump, it can easily be said, just does not know when to shut the hell up. Rather than apologize to the parents of Captain Humayun Khan, who died in service to his country, the GOP nominee seems determined to try and trash this grieving family in furtherance of his own political goals. But now the […]
Donald Trump is incredibly fond of saying how much he loves American veterans.
