Veterans not feeling the Trump.
Not surprising considering how he has insulted and demeaned them:
"... For all his talk about leadership, something that Trump fails to understand is that real leadership is predicated upon respecting the people that you want to follow you. So far, Trump has only insulted, abused and patronized service members and veterans."
His ridiculous response after the removal in Myrtle Beach:
"During his speech, Donald Trump did not respond directly to the protesters, but did make note of people who challenge him as security folded up the group's banner.
"We're going to make the wall 10 feet taller," Trump said. "And every time they protest, it's going to go up a little bit higher.""
"Around the country, groups of veterans have been sporadically popping up at Trump rallies to protest his anti-Muslim rhetoric. The group, using the hashtag #VetsVsHate, also appeared in the audience here in Madison County.
...
"That says a lot, for a veteran to be booed by a nation full of 'patriots,'" said veteran Zach Choate."

So, let's see. We have women, Hispanics, blacks, veterans...is there any group Trump hasn't insulted and/or tried to silence? Oh, yeah, the white, Evangelical, racist men. But that's his core group of supporters, so we won't see him insulting them any time soon.
Lets see here, you go to a rally to disrupt it with a protest, and are removed, and Trump is the bad guy.
It's simple, don't disrupt someone's rally, and there won't be any problems. Trump isn't going other people rallies and "silencing" his critics, he is only removing people that are disrupting his rallies. BTW, just like Hillary did with BLM.

I agree, I also believe that veterans are just like civilians, they have different opinions. One veteran or a group of veterans cannot speak for all.
I found the following statement from this one particular veteran group to be pretty reasonable
We are glad that Mr. Trump has clarified his remarks to acknowledge that Senator McCain is a war hero. But, Senator McCain is also a politician and what Donald Trump has tapped into is that people just don’t trust politicians and the slow pace the Congress is moving in addressing critical issues like border security, veteran’s issues and military funding
Phraseology aside, what the American people are really concerned about is how 250,000 veterans – who are also heroes – were put onto a VA death list, why 40,000 active troops are going to receive pink slips over the next four years and why border security is not addressed even as our porous border results in more financial strain on our country and southern border states' budgets.
This whole candidacy reeks of irony and hypocrisy.
So many of the same people who claimed that Obama hated the military despite any evidence to the contrary now support Trump in spite of his clear disdain for those who serve.
I don't recall any actual military leaders suggesting that they would disobey orders from Obama prior to his election.

Notice the thread about Hillary removing BLM protesters from her event is filled with crickets right now?
The hypocrisy is incredible.
