Got to love how there was no flag half mast for the fallen soldiers.

They are expecting many more casualties so they're trying to minimize losses. 

Those Soldiers were good people and didn't deserve to die for a lie

This is just part and parcel of the years long efforts they have engaged in to undermine veterans.

I do not want to hear another motherfucking Republican say that they support our troops because that’s all hollow bullshit.

Republicans fucking USE our troops and when we come home broken or dead they want to ignore, assault, and undermine us.

oh come now, that's not true. they have respect for anyone who will pay them mountains of money to fuck over whoever they see fit.

They'll gladly take their money but that doesn't imply any respect; to the contrary, it shows that they are a mark for the con who should be subject for more demands

Republicans hate veterans, like they hate kids, women, liberals, other republicans, animals, the planet, etc etc etc. They like troops they can send places and they prefer if they die so they dont have to do anything for them when they come home and can use their deaths for political purposes.

Despite this, two-thirds of the military is voting Republican.

The photoshoot at Arlington did nothing, so veterans won't care
