And now trump, faced with building evidence against him, attacks General John Kelly (who obviously can confirm the story as well)...
I'll answer the question you posed at the end, I believe the Stars and Stripes article over your experience. Anonymous internet anecdotes don't do much for me.
More fake news worshipping. You can’t comment crap because you haven’t a clue about personal experience of a vet. I’m waiting on the other vets in here to tell me about their personal experiences with the VA healthcare recently. The VA clinic I just went to is the facility in Lake City(Seattle) Wa. Even though I have medical coverage with the VA for life until Medicare kicks in. I have only used them 2 times in the past and it was a thoroughly disappointing experience each time. I am one of the fortunate vets that have the means and resources to take care of myself with the private sector, others are not so fortunate like myself and died needlessly because nobody gave a crap in the past. Thanks to Mr Trump’s reform, there is a huge improvement in the way the VA healthcare systems treating our vets now. I was impressed with the whole thing from making the appointment to getting to see the doctor, and she was a pretty good PCP too. You, on the other hands, keep pulling down links to make a case against Mr Trump.
Trump trying to suck as many military d_cks as he can to get back in the military's good graces now that he knows the military voting polls are against him. And, even if the news that he skipped a ceremony overseas because of rain affecting his hair (and whatever else) and hurling an insult McCain's way is not true, it's nice to see him get some of his own vitriol for a change rather than be the one spewing it. How's it feel? Uh huh. Trump gonna save your "Stars and Stripes" newspaper now...because he knows he'll earn some brownie points and look better....not because he actually cares that your losing it and is doing it out of the goodness of his heart. Also, Trump making false claims again that he is responsible for the veterans bill that McCain started and was passed under Obama. How many times do we have to hear that lie? And, I love how they are trying to paint Trump as a "good guy" behind the scenes off camera. He's just a terror in front of the camera. Great!
Details of the Atlantic article have been corroborated independently by reporters from Fox News and the OP. It also fits with Trump's pattern degredating remarks and ACTIONS about our military personnel and their families. Sad that you would side with Trump over our servicemen and women.
How can any current or former military man vote for this scum bag? I guess I'll start by asking my own father.... I just don't get it. I probably agree with more things Republicans do than Democrats, but I cannot vote for this guy. I do not like the way either party is heading, and I have no idea where to fall. I just know I cannot vote for this guy. Where do socially liberal, but fiscally conservative voters go after this? I know there are quite a few...
