But Trump stands for Veterans, right?
This is what I hate about politicians. They claim to be for something when they obviously are not. Do you think Trump wore a US flag pin on his suit every day before he decided to run? Nope. Not only did Trump dodge the draft, he made no attempt to send any of his kids into the military. NOTHING could be more honorable than sending their child to the Naval Academy or West Point and then having them serve in the military for four years.
This is not about Trump and him dodging the draft; Clinton didn't send their daughter into the military. After being First Lady and becoming a Senator, did Hillary Clinton do anything for Vets? Any fund raising events? Did she give any free speeches to any Veterans groups? What about Trump? Trump had no issues accepting a $150k federal grant for one of his buildings from a 9/11 fund, but did he do anything for Veterans before he decided to run? He was a huge businessman in NYC for years - Wasn't he involved in dozens of charity groups in the area?
I understand the military isn't for everyone, but don't stand up on a pedestal and tell us about how you support Vets when you haven't done jack shit for them other than furthering your own career.
(And just in case anyone was wondering, yes, my kid has in fact sat down with a Marine recruiter. My daughter has zero interest, but at least I tried.)
