Once Vets groups go on the warpath against her the GOPrs in Congress won't have any choice but to listen.

They can only stop it by blocking her nomination.

They will all go along with what Trump, Bannon, Pence, Ryan, McConnell say like the good Germans they are.

I'm reminded of how Caligula appointed his horse to the Roman senate. Only in this case, it's a horse's ass who might be appointed to an executive branch position.
