Everybody wants to do Veteran affairs. There is no money for it.
well, I disagree.
how much does our nation spend on veterans? Would you be surprised to learn that it's just 4 percent of our nation’s total federal budget in 2014 – about $154 billion? This includes spending on things like veteran’s benefits, hospital and medical care, housing, education, training, and rehabilitation and other benefits and services.
Spending on the military, on the other hand, accounted for 17 percent of total federal spending, or more than half of all discretionary spending in 2014.
They don't want to cut the military budget, but they sure have no problems cut military personnel benefits which are EARNED benefits. Screw up priority.
Front-line troops should be paid more, they should be well taken care of. Why do they want to pay these fat officers and not combat troops? Like I said, screw up priority.

If you think Trump is going to be better for Veterans, you better go and read how he's been to veterans in the past.
well, I don't think anybody are going to be better for veterans because they are truly the minority of the minority. I know I care I cannot speak for anybody else.
I know Clinton doesn't care, Bernie Sanders seems to care. But he cannot win. I know Ron Paul cares, but I am not going to waste my time talking about him either. At least I know who doesn't care. That is Hillary Clinton. So what difference does it make? Him or her? lol
These are two issues that are important to me personally,
1. No more war hawks
2. Don't cute the earned benefits
"Well the Wall, after all, was just a suggestion..... Who'd have thought millions of people would take me seriously? Yuk yuk...
The only thing he's been consistent about is the Clown effect. The White House? His next stop should be a hotel in the Catskills. Top billing.
Or like his tax proposal, it's just "a starting point" Trump: We're going to submit the optimum," he said of his tax proposal. "That's what I'd like to get and we'll fight for it. But from a practical standpoint, it's going to get renegotiated. And in my opinion, the taxes for the rich will go up somewhat."
So he will probably say about immigration: Trump: From a practical standpoint, the wall and deportation of 11 million people are going to be negotiated. And in my opinion we will give Amnesty to those 11 million people"

Do the above, you are good enough in my book.
No more war hawks, then you don't want Trump, who said he's "the most militaristic person ever."
I am going for third party. (at least for now.) By the way, I watched your video, I don't view Trump as a war hawk based on your video. Just sayin' (doesn't mean I will be voting for him though)
You can't take him seriously about banning Muslim. It's hard to implement. You can ban certain Muslim countries but not all Muslim. You have to be brain dead to believe it.
