10. That hurts. It's a slap in the face to the Obama and Biden families who've made veterans and

their families a high personal priority. Michelle Obama and Jill Biden have done more for veterans and their families than ANY other administration I can think of. Made it their personal cause. And Joe Biden's son is an Iraq War veteran. Seems to me NO ONE supports veterans quite as profoundly as a family that has one in its own midst.

I hope this poll is not correct. I can't believe veterans would turn their backs like this - in favor of a guy who doesn't even know who our "#1 enemy" is, and still sounds like he wants to ramp up war and a policy of international aggression again.
