Trump and Veterans

By Ray Zen

I'm sorry folks but how can someone label me as a traitor or insult me because I refuse to vote for a man who willingly and openly insults a Gold Star Mother.

None of us have laid down such a sacrifice at the altar of freedom and Trump's comments are reflective on just how willing he is to insult and blaspheme those who do not support him.

It is even more clear to those of you who claim Trump has the interest of Veterans at heart that you are wrong.

 A veteran is:

White
Muslim
Male
Female
Black
Wicken
Atheist
Latino
Asian
Straight
Gay
Bi
Suffering
Prosperous
Angry
Scared
Felt left behind...

He just tried to leave a heroic Veteran's family behind because they supported his political opponent.

There is no justification for his insult...no context in which it can be understood... so please I challenge you to justify this statement... don't get all Bengazi... don't start talking about something else that is not relevant for this particular thread... don't try  giving me and the rest of the people reading this a red herring to somehow intellectually justify why you're voting for this person.

This person... who believes it's okay to insult the family of a man who laid down his life for our freedom.

As a leader of a major political party Trump needs to be accountable for his words...

I for one, will hold him accountable....
