    US troops routinely vote by mail. Why can’t the rest of America do the same?

    btw, Lawrence Korb is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and served as assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan

    No wonder soyboy Sam never served a day in the military, he cannot distinguished real actions from the BS that Biden is saying how much he supports our vets.

    I cannot speak for the other vets here in this forum, but I can tell everyone here one aspect of the VA that has been improved tremendously under Mr Trump.

    Mr Trump promised our vets he will make it right for them and he has. Under previous administrations, the worst years were under Obama, our vets were being neglected under the vast VA healthcare systems. The damn beast was so bloated with people who give no fukks to our heroes.

    Vets were dying because it tooks months just to get an appointment and they have nowhere else to turn to. I’ve been on both sides of this issue as a patient and a physician.

    When I got out of the service, I had to go to the VA clinic in Florida my home state, the experience was horrible due to the long wait for an appointment and the general we don’t give a crap attitude.

    When I moved to HTown, once again I tried the VA facility in the Med Center, one of the larger ones facility, the horrible experience was the same, the longest wait for an appointment and the I don’t give a damn general attitude.

    I am one of the fortunate vets that have the resources to have my private care, other vets have lesser means and have to rely solely on the systems for their serious health issues, many are service related.

    I have also been on the other end of the VA healthcare as a physician and once again encountered the same bloated bureaucracy and general I don’t give a damn attitude.

    When Mr Trump took office he has made a promise to our vets and so far that pledge has been full filling. I have been talking to a lot of my vet buddies who rely exclusively on the VA to provide their healthcare needs and the answers have been consistently positive in terms of a lot shorter appointment wait times and better general attitude like they finally cared.

    Just for kicks, recently I tried to make an appointment to see a doctor for general checkups and they were able to schedule me for under 2 weeks, despite the pandemic and all. They made it clear for me, anytime I have a complaint of any kind, it will go straight to the office of the President and Mr Trump will hear from it. I’m a skeptical person in nature because in life there is a lot of BS and you have to decipher them for yourself, but even I was impressed how things are running with the VA healthcare under Mr Trump.

    Who are you going to believe, vets like myself who have first hand experience with the systems or Biden with his bullshiet sleight of hands for political grandstanding?

    Key veterans groups blast Trump’s VA budget proposal as falling short of veterans’ needs

    Like Russian sanctions..... Trump always seem to need outside pressure to do the right thing.....

    Or we can just quote Trump on pows. Calling them losers. What’s your excuse for that? This is not second hand knowledge. This is coming from trumps mouth.

    It will be interesting watching the trump defenders switching their stories from "fake news" to "so, what if he did say it" or, "what he really meant was ..."

    There are a LOT of bikers that should take offense to this. Have a moment and think about this Trump thinks you are loser because you didn’t snake your way out of Vietnam.

    Why can’t you all commenting on what I just wrote about my own experience as a vet? You guys have nothing to rely on except fake news when it comes to Mr Trump.

    I’d like to hear from the other vets on this board too, but you have to be honest, you just cannot let your blind hatred for the Orange man clouds your judgment. Be honest with your latest VA healthcare experience, after all , to me, this is the most critical and the most important needs of our vets.

    Don’t get me wrong the other issues with our vets are important too: suicides, drug overdoses, homelessness...etc.

    I read her tweets. Her sources confirmed much of the Atlantic’s article. In addition to the they are suckers...

    - Trump didn't want to lower the flag for McCain's death. There was a stand-off in the WH and Trump relented.
    - Trump didn't want "wounded guys" in his July 4th military parade, saying "that's not a good look"
    - Trump disparaged veterans and did not want to drive to American war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery outside Paris
    - Concerning American veterans: Trump said "What's in it for them? They don't make any money." "It was a character flaw of the President. He could not understand why someone would die for their country, not worth it."
