Among such a group of "patriots," you'd think there should be at least one who would jump up and say, "Whoa! Hold on there bud!"

He does make a good point, that the misfortune of serving our nation and paying a very high price for that action, should never be used to get the mercy vote from the public.

But what he doesn't realize, is to let the people see it for what it is, without him making a media scramble over him pointing out the obvious.

Sometimes not saying a word, works better than opening your mouth and looking like a fool, when everyone already knows the truth.

That didn't come out right...

I meant the misfortune of being injured while serving this nation.

My brain was going faster than my fingers... I do it often.

He certainly did, and it's the interpretation anybody who has a basic understanding of the English language will come to.
