Agreed. It's disgusting that "supporting the troops" for some people means sending them to fight in wars for profiteers.

I want them HOME, protecting Americans-and with access to health care and veteran benefits.

I could see him there. I think his status as a CO could be a teeny bit of a problem should we actually need to deploy our troops. But hopefully we won't.

For backbone, I'd put Sanders up against pretty much any of those guys in the GOP Clown Car, any day.

How dare we have a smart, reasonable person in office. Maybe thats why America is a laughing stock.
This election reveals a high school mentality in people. The honest and intelligent one with good intentions is overlooked for the loud, flashy, corrupt bullies.

I have never had more service from any of the past Commander-in-Chiefs as I have had in Bernie.

I'm happy to hear you're getting the help you need. This is a powerful testament of Bernie Sanders' integrity, consistency, and ability to get things done.

Can't rep you again. But I agree with this 100%.
