The Reality Is That The GOP & Trump Base Are OK W/Trump's Recent Actions On Gold Star Family.

As long as there is political benefit for GOP they will support anything he does. We know that. Whit is worse they are ok with taking away health care from veterans as well. Look at their policies surrounding veterans affairs. Abolishing the military pension system, dismantling the VA, under paying the troops who fight, etc etc etc. The list never ends.

They never seem to pay a political price for their evil Recent elections have actually rewarded them for their behavior.

Aside from funding the weapons, to keep the big defense contractors happy and filling their election coffers, they have no use for the rankin file.
