1. Part of me, because of how RW the military is, wants to say you got Trump elected,

now choke on it!

That's unfair to honest, truly patriotic veterans, that are not too ignorant to be capable of understanding what kind of country we're supposed to be. I just wish there were more like that.

4. IMO, the VA health care system needs great improvement.

The people are dedicated, caring and hard working but the system leaves a lot to be desired.

I think vets ought to get an insurance card and we be allowed to use local services.

9. Kill the VA and then they can look back wistfully in how good they had it

[Kaleva]

12. It's not an either-or situation

It's a fallacy to to try and argue that the choice is limited to keeping the VA as it is now or to get rid of it all together.

13. Only in cases of lack of access do I support thisnot choice.

Choice is a devilish word used by those who want to break up a public good run by the government which private sector will suck at while sending dollars to billionaires.

Post office
Public schools
Military
Intelligence agencies

All of these are under attacks by the Betsy DeVos’s and Eric Prince’s if the kleptocracy.

5. Let's get into some details...

As there are many details that need to be addressed. Society can no longer just pass it off, as if it does not concern them.

It concerns EVERY AMERICAN in this Nation. "let's be serious, and not make slap stick jokes and pass it off these type of threads as just another passing thread.... as if its only good for a quick read and slap stick and no rec's to ensure people focus on substantive stuff that truly affects All.

We are responsible to make this forum promote meaningful communications and help the Democratic system support values that truly matter and touch every American.

Then we can effect the change in the minds of people who can stand with their voice and vote for principles and standards.

Otherwise, we are just playing game on social media.

If you don't know the seriousness of it... Just take 20 or 30 minutes and get and see the truth for yourself, go to a VA hospital and see the challenges of the Veterans who use these facilities.
Go ask about Veterans families, their wives and kids who's lives are damaged and some left in destitution because of injury and other conditions. It affects not only them, but the next generation as well...

Be Serious.....! Take it Serious.....

many who've never served, do not always see the reality of such truths, they go about their lives happily without understanding those who suffer to have stood up to protect the means for so many to go about with a "happy go lucky" mindset as if it does not concern them.

10. Terrific Ad. Constant vigilance is required

They want to tear down the government and have less protections for millions.

Just hope that those shitbag Trump voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are inordinately affected by Trump.

Fuck that shitty cunt, Trump.

11. As a 100% disabled vet who uses the VA regularly, The VA has done a 360 degree turn.......

In terms of service to vets. The VA has become much, much better place then it was in 69-72. I honestly are cant believe 45 wants to privatize the VA, That's the line in the sand hes now crossed. Veterans are a group not to be trifled with, We vote and vote hardcore. This motherfucker has awoken a sleeping giant.
