He’s been one of the few that has been steadily beating the drum about trauma and other issues involving veterans.

Those issues go beyond the physically wounded that you find at Walter Reed, specifically the individuals with major trauma, difficulty readjusting back to normal life. Kokesh has raised funds for counseling and finding assistance for many of these folks that have been swept under the rug.

Once again, I’m an Iraq veteran and unless you’re missing a limb or dead, people generally don’t give a damn about you. All the “thank you for your service” platitudes don’t mean a thing if we’re letting down these people once they’re done with their military service.

I look back at my unit and while half of them have solid lives, the other half are struggling with regular life, struggling to readjust, having trouble maintaining employment....etc, and when they look for help, they find that very little exists out there.

I’ll trust a former soldier like Kokesh to look out more for veterans than another chickenhawk type like Mullins who seems to see soldiers as pawns in a grand game and not real human people. War has many consequences that go beyond the battlefield and there aren’t many in government who seem to recognize that.

Bull crap, he may make a couple of blog posts here and there in his little "liberty frat house" and troll some forums while playing scrabble, but he hasn't done jack. The one time he does go on a base to 'help' troops, he uses illegal identification to try to get into a military base in Germany to try to convince soldiers to abandon their post- and make a child like YouTube video about it, mocking troops the whole time. As you should know, getting a soldier to illegally abandon their position would ruin their career and life- how is that helping their troops? You trust that? Yea, the gov doesn't treat vets as well as they should, but going off the deep end and jumping in bed with that Code Pinko baby. Yea, he is a vet (stripped of the 'honorable' in his discharge), so was Jack Murtha and John Kerry (at that, he is very much like the latter one.)

Kokesh has worked to get you and your fellow soldiers killed in Iraq. That is the bottom line. He's a traitor.

His group, Iraq Veterans Against the War, worked with the enemy in Iraq. Kokesh works with terrorist allies including ANSWER and Code Pink. Open your eyes.

My brothers, my father, my grandfathers, all vets. They all agree- this guy is a POS traitor and does not deserve to have voting rights much less be allowed to run for Congress.

There are many MANY organizations who care for vets, and their families, and even go so far as to protect the fallen from being used as talking points for traitors like Kokesh.

It shames me to think that a FReeper would ally himself with such a person.

And how do you happen to know *that* about Mullins, anywise?

Sorry, but no. Kokesh is a traitor and a scumbag, regardless of the meaningless little platitudes he mouths about taking care of veterans.
