[Mbrow]

53. Air force? My father retired Air force,

hmm south east? I'm sitting on a ship in Moss Point, MS right now, good luck on DU, don't let the nay sayers and assholes drive you away. Lots of good folk here in Bernieville.

[sarge43]

68. Good choice

Retired E-7 Zoomer here.

[roguevalley]

29. my dad would love to vote for Bernie. He was in the Navy during

World War II. That second kid, Peter ... bring his age and totally disabled. I could kill myself.

[Aerows]

45. Cher, please don't ever say you could kill yourself.

You bring far too much just to DU by itself than to go down that path.

RogueValley, I think I am one among many who would be more than willing to tell you how meaningful your life is to them.

Please do not go down that road.

You mean something, my friend.

[roguevalley]

55. I love you back I will drop that figure of

Speech in you honor. Hugs to you forever.

[Jefferson23]

58. +1

[Krytan11c]

5. I'm one of them

I know who has our backs. Go Bernie!

[Jefferson23]

7. Thank you, Krytan11c. Bernie seems to be appreciated b/c Vets know he does not forget you, ever. n/t

[Krytan11c]

11. For me...

When Bernie says it's about us, he means all of us. All of America. That's a person I'm proud to support.

[Jefferson23]

12. Exactly, that is how he has been forever..its just way he is.n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Candidates aside, what Army vets and Marine vets have to say always resonates

with me. They are the ones we send to become cannon fodder. They are often the ones who receive little-to-no assistance with education/job placement/training/medical when they come home broken.

[Jefferson23]

9. Totally, well said..thank you. n/t

[hobbit709]

13. This vet is definitely for Bernie.

[Jefferson23]

15. I didn't know you were a vet, hobbit and thank you.

When one reads the comments from vets it is so clear why they appreciate him.

[hobbit709]

17. USAF 69-73.

[Jefferson23]

18. I hope he wins, hobbit..we really need this and he is best placed to take this corrupt system on.n/t

[The River]

14. Add Me To The List n/t

[Jefferson23]

16. You got it and thanks for replying and supporting Bernie. n/t

[HereSince1628]

20. What -some- vets say...

Regardless of the array of vets organizations, they aren't united and no one organization speaks for all of us.

[Jefferson23]

21. I didn't write it, their website did and you can contact them if you like. n/t

[HereSince1628]

25. It's 2016 judge it as personal

jeszus kryst

[NuclearDem]

26. This veteran was an O'Malley supporter and has switched to Clinton.

[Jefferson23]

30. Thank you just the same.

[sarge43]

27. Two military retirees here for Senator Sanders

He's a leader. "We have a mission. We can get it done.

Yes sir. We have your back.

[Jefferson23]

31. Thanks so much, lots of work ahead but Bernie is still viable. n/t

[sarge43]

42. We can do it.

There's only one battle you can't afford to lose - the last one and we're far from that one.

[Mbrow]

28. And another Vet for Bernie

bubble head 75-86.
American veteran
American Patriot
American progressive.

[Jefferson23]

34. Awesome and thank you, Mbrow! n/t

[bluedigger]

36. No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great, The People first!

[Jefferson23]

38. It's all we have left, our vote..use it for Bernie..thank you. n/t

[DrDan]

37. I am a vet - and support HRC

[Jefferson23]

39. Thank you very much. n/t

[appalachiablue]

40. This is just wonderful. Thanks so much!

[Jefferson23]

59. Their passion for Bernie and respect is abundant, no doubt. n/t

[navarth]

41. Outstanding. nt

[Jefferson23]

61. I thought so too, so much heart in those words for Bernie. n/t

[Cryptoad]

44. That should read some vets

Know many that do not support him. but keeep ur heads up, work hard,-- looks like yall have a long shot chance to win another primary in June.

[Jefferson23]

62. They wrote it, not me and thank you, we'll all be working hard. n/t

[SeattleVet]

46. USAF, 1972-1984.

Served under Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan. Left the service before Reagan managed to get us shot at, again - I could not serve another hitch under that man. I feel that he was a disgrace to the nation.

I really felt that Carter was one of the best US Presidents of the 20th Century, but he got handed a shit sandwich from Ford (the economy) and was blindsided by the Reagan co-conspirators over the whole Iran hostage deal.

Bernie has consistently had our backs, and we should all band together and support him now.

I just signed up on the Vetsforbernie.org web site.

[Jefferson23]

63. Your words and experience are truly remarkable, thank you very much.

If we can help him pull this off, we can begin to push back on all the corruption in politics,
no more important fight, imo.

[sarge43]

70. Know the feeling

Damn near packed it in during Nixon's run. Glad I didn't, but it was tough, especially during the Cambodian bombings.

Agree about Carter - dirty doings.

[mrmpa]

48. Daughter of a 15 year Marine Corps Veteran and..........

an associate member of the Marine Corps League, adamantly agrees that Bernie is the only candidate whose policies and beliefs are in favor of those serving and those who have served & their families.

[Jefferson23]

57. That's spectacular, a powerful statement...thank you. I hope he wins, the last thing the country

needs is continued unabated money in politics.

[Uncle Joe]

50. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Jefferson.

[Jefferson23]

65. My pleasure, thank you. n/t

[noamnety]

51. One more here for Bernie.

US Army

[Jefferson23]

64. Thank you...so many more vets here than I was ever aware. n/t

[noamnety]

69. It's in part why I'm not a Hillary voter

I can't get past the Iraq War vote.

And I can't get past the Bosnia sniper lie. I know that's not a policy decision that affects others, but it's like lying about military service. There are real people killed by real snipers because she voted to send them into combat ... and she's telling the world she's the one being shot at.

I just can't.

[Jefferson23]

71. Your reason is a valid reason, her cynical approach to politics is sickening. n/t

[kristopher]

54. This vet is 100% for Sanders.

Long may he wave, (not to mention point, punctuate, and choreograph with emphatic gesticulation).

[Jefferson23]

66. Ha ha and thank you very much, kristopher. n/t

[HDSam]

56. Army Vet for Bernie

1987-2009

Now I work for a state agency assisting homeless and disabled Vets.

I'm tempted to believe that if a politician votes for military action, they should be leading the charge.

[Jefferson23]

67. That is awesome, sir and I agree with your thoughts on military action, would make all of them

think twice, at least. Thank you for your response and all you do, HDSam.
