they have always been around perhaps more than we had thought
or even more than we had feared
and trump spoke to their hearts.

and they ate it up

He was smiling the entire time like a fool! I can't do it but someone needs to zoom in on him and let's see what his hat says and then out him! I'm embarrassed some veteran looked that stupid. Yes, I'm a veteran.

Like any other group of people, some veterans are not nice people.
Some aren't terribly bright. Some are violent. Some are racist.
To compensate for the admittedly horrible treatment of Vietnam Vets, we have gone overboard in acting like every veteran, even those who were never deployed, are super heroes.
We shouldn't be surprised that some of them are racist assholes.
