but cannot cite the source. He wasn't a volunteer unless the alternative was jail.

A friend who was in the military told me that they (military folks) are frustrared by these deals -- they don't want to be a dumping ground for behavior problems. I agree. You don't give some with temper problems a gun.

Just looking at his face while she was speaking you know he's saying "what. the. hell. was. I. thinking."

Remember the old jokes about diagramming her sentences? These paragraphs should be sent to every english class.

“They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airman and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country,” “And that starts from the top…That comes from our own President.”

“So when my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with,”

It couldn't possibly be that their mother is an illiterate grifter who can't string words together to form a sentence.

Of course that's the card to dump Trump.

Don't blame President Obama for the PTSD that Sarah Palin claims her oldest son is battling.

That was the message Wednesday from the head of a New York City-based veteran's organization that has fought for years to get Iraq and Afghanistan war vets help with their post traumatic stress disorder.

"It's not President Obama's fault that Sarah Palin's son has PTSD," said Paul Rieckhoff, who heads Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). "PTSD is a very serious problem, a complicated mental health injury and I would be extremely reluctant to blame any one person in particular."

Rieckhoff weighed in after Palin said her son Track's arrest on domestic violence charges this week stemmed from the PTSD he contracted after serving with the Army in Iraq — and because of Obama's supposed lack of "respect" for veterans.

The former GOP vice-presidential candidate made the claim at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma after she endorsed Republican front runner Donald Trump for president.

Rieckhoff, whose organization is non-partisan, said "it's important to recognize that Track may need help like many veterans" — and that his mother is in a position to use her influence to help him and other vets.
