What I say is not any kind of indictment against the President.
This speech has turned into, in parts, just a dog and pony show.
Some on this thread have stated they lost loved ones, I sincerely feel sorry for them.
My condolences.
But....
I think that some here would change their stances if they were to spend a little time in a
VA hospital. I'm a vet, I spend some of my days there. First for my health condition then to visit, to sit and talk to returning vets, old vets and those in between. I do this because they are my brothers and sisters. I have a hard time describing the "why" I do this, guess it really is not important.
We should close ALL military bases. We should bring everyone home. The United States has no right to be in any country with the lame excuse of "protecting" U.S. interests. Current technology put an end to that premise.
I urge the supporters of these actions to visit a VA hospital. Go talk to the vets they will appreciate your visit.
