    I know, right? The more I read about him the more I like. I’ve worked with a looot of disabled veterans who get treated like trash once they get out so it’s nice to see someone put their money where their mouth is.

    A lot of people, esp right-wingers, will say shit like they want to support veterans instead of all these moochers on public assistance and drug addicts and I often struggle to convince them that that venn diagram is damn near a fucking circle.

      Can confirm, family business. From the minute you walk into MEPS till the VA you are just a serial number piece of meat. Anyone who fights for better vet treatment gets a solid 👍 in my book. Some of those “drug addict moochers” had more medals than cloth on the uniform when it came time to clean out the closet but who cares about that after they come home right
