In reply to the discussion: Veteran Has Had It With Republicans: ‘Don’t You Dare Thank Me For My Military Service’ [View all]underpants
(182,064 posts)Hey good for the celebrities who support this but watching it (I literally stopped to watch the whole thing) was heartbreaking. The loss of limbs. The pain. And one Veteran who was - I'm not sure how exactly to describe him - completely disabled. He could walk with assistance and he clearly was aware of what was going on in front of him but that was it. He has a loving wife and parents who will be caregivers for the rest of his life. I wasn't stopped to watch it because of the heart tugging stories, I just stood there thinking "Why? Why did this happen to these people?" We all know the answer.
When I hear a caller on the radio get a "Thank you" or people doing it in person I can't help but just want to scream WHY?!? WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?!??
