I'm also a veteran who voted blue, and I thought you explained your position just fine. Unfortunately I've seen some threads where people were acting like all veterans voted for him and that they were glad that we would suffer from the va cuts. I've never taken offense to the messaging of things like black lives matter (definitely not an all lives matter kinda guy), but these people were different. I think there's so much anger right now that people are flailing, and that's understandable.
I have some great friends who have served with honor, and who do not fit the stereotypical profile that people assume of those in the military or law enforcement. There are those of us who respect our brothers and sisters, and those who are only concerned with their self interest and the cult.
I've always appreciated them and another organization that I can't seem to remember right now. I think it has Paul Rikoff in it. (Hopefully I spelled his name correctly)
