sorry, but if you voted for the draft dodger who insulted a decorated POW
you can KMA with your "thanks"
everyone else, you're welcome!

As vets, should we have voted for the candidate that left our personnel hanging without support in Benghazi while they decided whether to wear uniforms or if Libya would be insulted? Question, are you old enough to have voted for her husband the draft dodger or the current Secretary of State who maligned our forces in Vietnam?
Thank you for your service. You were in the minority as Vets went for Trump 2-1.

I voted for Ross Perot.
I voted for John Kerry, a decorated veteran
I supported Gary Johnson until Trump got the nomination.
Hillary is problematic. Trump is a friggin embarrassment
It might be best to turn this thread back to its original purpose, honoring all who served.
As a veteran myself -
U.S Navy 83-87
I respect your opinion - I do however find your comments in response to a simple acknowledgement of all veterans disappointing.
...and how do you think we would have fared in WW II without General Patton, who rescued our men at Bastogne but also said some rotten things in his time?....
Thank you for the thanks and thanks to fellow Vets.
I consider it a privilege to have served my country and all Americans!! Greatest country in the world!! I'd do it all again!!
I Could Not agree with you more. This is no time for politics - we are all Americans and being a combat vet I loved all my "buddies" regardless of race, religion etc. - combat makes that happen.
To echo my post in the Marine Corps. Birthday thread, wishing the best to all US Veterans today of all branches who served in any way in our great military to protect this great country. Cheers, well done, and much respect to you all.
First of all, thank you all for your acknowledgement. As others have said, it was an honor to serve.
Second, I have experienced unsettling feelings over the last couple decades, wondering if it was worth it. Most of this was brought on by what I see as a decline in the values that made the U.S. a great nation. I've asked myself if I'd do it all again given the opportunity. For a while, I answered "no" as often as "yes."
However, when I think of all the magnificent men and women with whom I served and when I truly look at the vast majority of Americans, I have found myself answering that same question lately with a resounding "HELL, YES!" My newly restored faith in America and Americans is the reason I know we'll recover from the rioting and looting, the vitriol - often viciously spewed - of the campaigns for nearly two years, and the rends even seen within families over who voted for whom.
I believe in my grandfather's generation as The Greatest Generation. I also believe that every generation can be great if we just get out of our own way. The speed at which the world is changing and the new and unique challenges we face force us to step up. Our grandfathers would expect nothing less.
Happy Veteran's Day!
