The GOP has always been able to count on the military to provide votes — but Donald Trump’s nomination briefly put those votes in doubt.
Throughout Trump’s campaign, the billionaire businessman made several comments that were unthinkable coming from a Republican candidate. He called the war in Iraq a mistake, he called nation-building a waste of time, and, in what may have been his most controversial moment, he questioned the heroism of John McCain. In a reference to McCain’s time as a tortured prisoner of war in Vietnam, Trump mused, “I prefer people who weren’t captured.”
But these moments don’t’ seem to have had a lasting effect on the nation’s veterans. Trump won the military vote, as expected, and has remained a fierce defender of the armed forces as commander-in-chief.
Now, several active duty soldiers and military vets have launched a national movement to support Trump’s efforts in the White House.

No, that would be the husband of your candidate. The bigger issue here is that you don’t care about the troops and think I’m a crackhead because I do. Shame on you!! These young men and women risk their lives for this country every day and for you to discard their happiness and pride in their new commander in chief is horrible. You libtards are narcissistic, self centered assholes!
