Yeah, the veterans are scared he's a socialist.

I hear them talk about how awful the government is as they collect their military pension, wait in line at the VA and apply for the VA loans.

Okay.

I don't really care if you do or not. As I said, the First Amendment is for ALL of us. None of the vets I know would ever tell a fellow vet he has no honor and cannot be trusted.

They'd rather have the six of a fellow vet.

But you just keep on keeping on. You just keep thumping your chest and standing in judgement of men and women you will never have the privilege of knowing. God Bless America 'cause there are millions of Americans who have made sure you have the right to spout off.

Spew all you want to, no matter how wrong-headed you are. We veterans stood up for your right to do just exactly that.

No need to thank us, by the way.

So you consider oath breakers to be somehow "honorable?" I am curious how you could draw such a conclusion.

No, you did not. You stand behind a politician that knowingly violates the very US Constitution you swore an oath to protect and defend. I still take my oath seriously. Too bad you do not.

I am a vet and have never waited in line at a VA hospital, applied for any Veteran benefits, VA loan and I dont collect a pension.
I don't fear that Obama is a socialist. I simply disagree with his waging class warfare and dividing a nation. I also feel that a leader takes responsibility for failure. Not make excuses and lie about it.

How could any military member vote for Obama?
Administration officials told Congress that one goal of the increased fees is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out of the program in favor of alternatives established by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

“Would you stay with a car insurance company that raised your premiums by 345 percent in five years? Probably not,” said the congressional aide. “Would anybody accept their taxes being raised 345 percent in five years? Probably not.

I thought tricare costs increases were limited by COLA adjustments by law.
