Vets group to hold 5K race after Trump cancels military parade: One K for each of Trump's deferments

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A nonprofit veterans organization announced on Friday that it is seeking to hold a 5K race for Veterans Day next year mocking President Trump.

VoteVets, an organization that focuses on nonpartisan education and advocacy on behalf veterans and their families, said on Twitter that it has submitted a Letter of Intent with Washington, D.C., to hold the race around the National Mall next year.

The announcement came the same day Trump canceled his plans for a military parade in the capital, citing its soaring cost estimates.

“So, unless he kicks out a veterans race, [Trump] will not get his ego parade there, on that day next year, either,” the organization added in the tweet, with the hashtag “#NoTrumpParade.”

I never want to hear again how there is no money for the care of veterans while they can always find money for more military hardware and bullshit like this.
