(12,645 posts)So of course, she'd understand what veterans go through, and all that...
for anyone who takes the title seriously...
(As a veteran and a military retiree myself, I'm torn between reactions - should I should be coping with this through an appalled black humor mechanism, or be cripplingly outraged...)

At least Orange Caligula is consistent, appointing equivalent intelligences to his cabinet.

(21,646 posts)If nominated and confirmed, shed be the first civilian to serve not a vet.
And her only qualification appears to be that her son served in Iraq. Good enough?
She has been out of politics since 2009 because she quit in the middle of her only term as governor of Alaska. There isnt a single reason for Donald Trump to consider her appointment for longer than a half-second.

(4,149 posts)Maybe they'll love her. I know most active military personnel are Republican, but I'm not sure about actual vets. . . .
Also, I'm not sure how most vets feel about care they receive at the VA. . . It would be interesting to know.
In any case, Palin is a fucking DISASTER.
