Of course Crenshaw's right, why should veterans have care when he of all people is doing just fine?

I mean sure some aren't promoted to elite navy seal status, come home a hero, and then are ejected into one of the highest offices and a sit of power.

Sure some are broken and depressed, and kill themselves because they can't afford a medical bill. Some come back with PTSDs and live on the streets, being left to die.

But Crenshaw loves war, what right does Bernie have to deny soldiers of war. In fact its insulting not to be in one when soldiers want to risk their lives.

We should start bombing and invading random countries to give soldiers a job, and god forbid they come home and get any help whatsoever. They should be like Crenshaw and suck it up.

I mean homeless veterans are clueless, instead of starving on the streets they should shake hands with rich donors and run for political office. problem solved.

Thank you Dan for explaining this to us. Thank You!

Lets fix the veteran health care issue once and for all. Any combat veteran is given the gold standard of health care. This would be equal to the presidents benefits. All non combat veterans is given the silver star treatment this would be equal to our congress member benefits. They can see any healthcare provider they want.

Lol why?

Crenshaw already has the best healthcare being a member of congress. If other veterans don't want to die they should run for office like Dan.

I agree with what socialist Bernie said in this one instance. No one should be sent off to fight for a country if the country can't take care of them when they return.

I don't care if Bernie has an alleged agenda or is pandering, it's the truth.

Just to give an idea how not all soldiers are like Crenshaw, just read the replies to this tweet.

I'm a combat veteran with service connected health/ disability issues.

Crenshaw is usually really on point. Advice: Put down the twitter when you are annoyed, tired, etc......


Crenshaw missed it here.

That said, why would I listen to a leftist that has never worn the uniform and served, and that now has a clear objective of pandering to idiotic "woke" standards, just to win?

I used to at least respect Bernie, one of the very few politicos I did respect, simply because he was real about his positions (almost none of which I agreed with though). That ship sailed the second he made the willful decision to capitulate to a group of noisy BLM idiots at one of his rallies that challenged him publically.

His position on 2nd amendment rights also tends to sway with the wind nowadays.


F*ck Bernie.

Not a fan of the Bernmeister but I agree with him here.

Fix the idiotic VA system. No war, no nothing, until fix this stupid system, and stop the VA shopping for private sector doctors who will side with the VA every single time on claims.

I disagree with Crenshaw, and yes, I am a combat veteran.
