Please don't use disabled veterans in this war.

We have given enough.

I can't speak for all of us but I can speak for myself for sure.
I am/was behind Bernie but as I posted last week or so he is not going to be our nominee. Ok that's my thoughts on that.

What I am posting about is using veterans to go after Bernie as some defacto head of the VA. He is not and he and President Obama have been our greatest champions in D.C. Helping bring an old system into the 21st century and deal with an influx we haven't seen since WWII.

Please do not use me as a pawn to score political points myself and other veterans deserve better.

I won't call out the OP that causes me to write this I'd rather see it sink than draw attention to it. I just find it vulgar.

Please stop using people like me. Bernie had our backs and resisted the drive to fully privatize the VA while also dealing with a massive influx of new veterans.
