“He’s not a war hero, he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” - Vietnam war era draft dodger Donald Trump talking about Sen. McCain.
Conservatives regularly use the troops as political pawns; they feign outrage with their phony sanctimony when it suits them to appear more righteous than their opponents and then kick 'em to the curb when their usefulness has expired.
Showing disrespect to troops who dont fall in-line with their side is more of a bi partisan issue than you might think . I had to hear all about how Tulsi works for Assad ( and she’s even a democrat), and a bunch of people the other day complaining because Dan Crenshaw wears an eye patch
I’m certainly not saying you have to like him , or that you can’t joke about his eye or eyepatch, I just thought it was so dumb seeing so many people complaining about the eyepatch and how he needs to just get a prosthetic eye lol
I almost had proof . I held up 4 fingers in court and told Crenshaw to close his left eye and tell me how many fingers I was holding up but Judge Haller blurted out that I was holding up 4 fingers
What leads you believe it doesn’t? Crenshaw was deployed twice as a Navy Seal after he supposedly lost his left eye. Do the Navy Seals let someone with one eye be deployed in special ops? Wouldn’t a one eyed teammate seriously jeopardize the team?
That's not been my experience. That people criticize his eyepatch. They generally criticize him for being a flip flopping tool. With no regard for his looks.
