28. As a veteran

Sat Nov 16, 2019, 08:47 AM

Nov 2019

As a honorably discharged veteran I am sickened and outraged by this! These people committed WAR CRIMES for gebuses sake. It casts a pall over everything we as veterans tried to stand up for. How will other nations and their militaries look at American soldiers now? As men and women of at least some honor and ideals would YOU want to serve along side of a force that condones WAR CRIMES? The service branches involved found THEIR OWN guilty of these offenses and that's not good enough for the asswipes from faux and their idol in the WH?

Who have we become as a Nation? WHAT have we become as a Nation?
