Related: About this forumTed Cruz and the "Veterans For Freedom" Don't Represent This Veteran
While Ted Cruz and other Tea Party minded people protested the closing of the WWII Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. yesterday, David wonders aloud just which veterans these "patriots" are protesting for? It seems that this same herd is completely silent when it comes to real veteran issues, like getting mental health care for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or stopping unnecessary wars of agression.
David says that as a veteran, this group of veterans doesn't represent him, and is silent when issues of real importance concerning veterans are on the table.
