He opposed the Neocon War in Iraq, he refused to believe the lies.

He called out the warmongers so willing to send the troops to their Wars-For-Profit for REFUSING to take care of them when they came back!

No other Senator has done more for Veterans than Bernie Sanders.

And they are returning the favor by supporting him in this campaign!

5. This veteran supports Martin O'Malley.

Most detailed policy proposal for veterans of any candidate in either party, and a record of implementing programs and safeguards for veterans and military families in Maryland.

6. Good for you, You're the first one I've met. Every Vet in my family supports Bernie and are

working to help get him elected. Including my friend's brother who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

7. If he ever gets around to publishing anywhere near as comprehensive a platform as O'Malley

I may consider supporting him in the primaries.

Criticism Mounts Over Sanders’ Veteran Voting Record

Veterans groups are criticizing Sen. Bernie Sanders over comments the presidential hopeful made during Tuesday’s Democratic debate.

Sanders was chairman of the Veteran Affairs committee in 2014, during the height of the Veterans Health Administration scandal. When asked at the debate about his lack of urgency in handling the crisis, Sanders said he passed “a $15 billion piece of legislation which brought in many, many new doctors and nurses into the VA, so that veterans in this country could get the healthcare when they needed it and not be on long waiting lines.”

“As a result of that legislation,” Sanders continues, “we went further than anytime in recent history in improving healthcare for the men and women in this country who out their lives on the line to defend this country.”

Some groups, like the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), say Sanders failed to do enough for struggling veterans who faced months-long wait times while attempting to receive care. Paul Rieckhoff, CEO of IAVA told CNN, “For far too long he was apologizing for the VA. He was refusing to acknowledge the severity. He was positioning it as a smaller issue than it was while veterans were dying waiting for care.”
