What’s interesting enough is that one of the biggest proponent’s for veterans care and issues is a Democrat named Harry Mitchell.
I see way too many folks with “Support The Troops” bumper sticks who feel that their involvement in that particular endeavor ends with the sticker. You know how many suffering veterans we have, the unemployment rate for Iraq war veterans is ridiculous and it isn’t getting better.
There’s a crisis in this nation that is being completely shoved to the side by the “patriotic” Republicans and “veterans are campaign fodder” Democrats.
I will support anyone who stands up for veterans and their rights, because right now, what they’re getting from this nation for their sacrifice is a big F U.
Kokesh at least has been willing to stand up and work for the rights and care of veterans, I’ll gladly take that over another BS politician proclaiming how important the veterans are and then ignoring then completely after getting into office.
Right, he isn't even really throwing lip service at it, he is a one trick pony- anti-war. Hell, how do you know that even if he gives you some politician promises about helping vets, he won't just bail on it when it gets too hard like he did the USMC. He hasn't done jack s((( for Vets and I bet those folks with 'support the troops' bumper stickers and 'patriotic Republicans' you disparage do far more than Kokesh could dream. While Kokesh is playing around with Code Pink, those folks you disparage are giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups like the Wounded Warrior project. You have FReepers every single day visiting Walter Reed and volunteering to work with the vets. It was a group of private citizens who created the best rehabilitation center for Vets down near Ft. Hood- all done with private funding. All of this will Kokesh hangs from rafters and tries to defame Conservative groups by putting up phony racist posters. Go ahead and support your Code Pinko/Move On poster child.
