I am a Vietnam veteran with questions for my fellow Colorado veterans and citizens. Will you vote for a man who called American war dead “losers and suckers?” A man who told his chief of staff, Retired Gen. John Kelly, that he didn’t want to be seen with military amputees because “It doesn’t look good for me.” A man who said at Arlington National Cemetery “I don’t get it, what was in it for them?” You’ll vote for him? A man who said of Sen. John McCain, imprisoned and tortured for seven years in Hanoi, “I prefer people who don’t get captured.” All this from a man who bought a Vietnam deferment for “bone spurs.” You’ll vote for him? Really?
You’ll fly his flag, that of a draft dodger and convicted felon, beside the stars and stripes that your fellow citizens fought and died for? Will you actually in good conscience give this guy your vote?
