That's a proven fact, not an opinion. She lumped her son into the discussion because he's a veteran of Iraq. It's a political platform and she's trying to emphasize that Trump won't lie to veteran's families and will take care of our troops.
Look, I'm not a fan of Palin, never have been. But this is a complete spin job by the liberal media. Be intelligent, look past the spin.

But it's not a spin. Even Time Magazine, a mag that has put Palin on the cover as many times as they have put Jesus on the cover (thats a lot) said: "At the Trump campaign rally, Sarah Palin blamed the Obama administrationâ??s policies towards veterans for abandoning her son."
Sarah Palin Blames President Obama, PTSD for Son's Problems
Here's another:
"Palin said her son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and that Obama had made his situation worse by allegedly disrespecting veterans."
Sarah Palin blames her son?s domestic violence arrest on Obama
What Palin did was take a real tragedy (I' sure her son saw a lot of horrific shit), and made a point to talk about it during a political rally and to trash the Obama administration at the same time. It was Bush's war - why didn't she bash him for exposing her son to war in the first place?
But besides that, she's wrong. Here is some of what Obama has done for war veterans:
Expanding Access to Education for Veterans
Helping Service Members Successfully Transition to Civilian Life and Civilian Jobs:
Passing Tax Credits for Veterans:
Increasing Hiring of Veterans in Health Care-Related Fields:
Hiring Veterans as First Responders and Law Enforcement Officers:
Putting Veterans to Work Preserving and Restoring Americaâ??s Land and Resources:

I get it - all politicians are out to win, but why not stick to actual facts? Obama has some decent green policies, but he's not green enough: Push push push! Guantanamo is still open. Dig dig dig!! Everyone in Flint MI has been poisoned and Obama is slow to react: Why why why? There are so many honest truthful things that can be used to win a race. Trump was already a buffoon but now he looks worse than ever thanks to Palin.
peace.
