    They only love the military when it serves their narrative. If it doesn’t, they care about as much as babies after birth.

      This is (sadly) the way.

      As a former service member I am glad to have seen a change over the last 20 years away from a near monopoly towards GOP. Many have woken up to the BS.

        Thank you for your service!

        I’m glad to hear it may be shifting. I think it was easy to claim those on the left were anti-American for wanting changes to status quo. But the America that is run purely by the Military Industrial Complex is a scary one (and pretty much the one we have currently). Everyone I know has always supported the troops, just not necessarily the wars.

          It took a while but it’s happening and the good is that as a fed govt employee pretty high up, we see these ethics violations and know it’s all BS too. I have to fill a form out for ethics to review just or attend any open to the public conference. Good times.

      They only love [the military/women/minorities/foreigners] when it serves their narrative
