Who really cares about Sanders? He is a socialist and would tear this country apart more than it already is.
Doesn't erase the fact that he is a socialist. Who cares that he made a comment about veterans. Politicians make comments all the time and never follow through with them.

don't derail the thread. we are not talking about socialism here...we are talking about veterans in the way they should be taken care of in this country....the person making the statement doesn't make the statement any less true.....if Adolf Hitler said grass is green I would still believe him

OK, so if a person isn't anti-abortion, facts don't matter. gotcha.
Right... just like if your a priest that rapes children ... you don't get credit if you sing in the choir. Folks like sanders and these others liberals can claim they care about this group or that group and its clearly a lie and its clear they care for nothing but their own power.

How can you have a discussion about sanders and not discuss the fact that he is a admitted socialist? And anything he says should be seen as trying to promote a socialist agenda.

your deflection skills are duly noted but let's try to stay on topic here. the fact that Bernie Sanders is a socialist is not relevant to the topic at hand.. This country needs to take better care of its veterans... this is a true statement regardless of who said it. if Charles Manson said that Pizza Hut pizza is delicious then the fact that he is a deranged psychopath does not take away the deliciousness of the aforementioned pizza

He is only saying it because he wants support so he can become President. Why not change the name of the thread to "We need to take care of our troops". Why even include a socialist who has an agenda?

To a Marxist, Marxism is always at the top of the agenda.

We will remember Bernie's statement the next time those barbarians blow up a high rise building on American soil full of innocent citizens
Since we're being petty and irrelevant on this thread, I will point out the fact that your sentence structure incorrect. Your lack of a comma implies that the soil is full of citizens and not the building.

The communist pretended to care about the "workers" and the "farmers" to gain power ..then they killed millions of these people they claimed they cared about when they got power....anyone who thinks Bernie really cares about vets is just being deceived.

Liberals claim to care for blacks ...but where are blacks most abused and in the worst conditions? Where liberals have control ...

Obama has only made things worse for blacks ...more abortion clinics killing black babies..more illegal immigrants taking jobs that blacks need. More racial tension in America ..because liberals used these wedge issues to gain and keep power. The idea that sanders cares about vets is just silly.

You cant claim that sanders speaks for vets ..and not question his motives or the motives of liberals in general...Especially in context of the fact that he is running for president ... The guy don't care about vets and his ideas to help vets are not because he cares about vets...if he got in power it would be the very worse thing that ever happened our vets or our country.

Like was said before ..if you want to start a thread on how best to help vets? That would be great...but when you put Sanders in the mix ..you make it a political issue and of course his political motives must be addressed.

well none of the republican candidates are on the record saying they like to pet kittens,
so obviously they are all rapists and murderers and liars, no matter what they say, what their voting record shows, or what their personal lives attest to.

OK, i think you missed Bernie's point, not Dude's. but i also think they had the same point.

this isn't a statement against going to war. it's about keeping the commitment we make when we go to war - part of which is taking care of our vets. if you're willing to pay for a war, you need to be willing to pay for the consequences of war too. it's that simple.

****** Can I get an AMEN !!!!!#☺

I can't say that ALL soldiers are given the access to the mental care that they need, but I do known that a large number of them refuse the care that is available. Needless to say, the shrinks that combat vets are sent to to deal with PTSD are commissioned officers who (due to their qualifications) have never seen a day of combat.

All too often vets walk out on PTSD treatment because of the all too masculine ideology that says, "you haven't been through what I have, so how can you possibly understand what I'm going through, much less help me deal with it"
Sad, but true

Take a look at Bernie Sanders throught the decades (via YouTube). Say what you will about him-but he is a man of conviction. He remains the same on his beliefs which is very rare in todays political realm. He defends / stands up for Veterans rights and benefits-he walks the walk. Everyone likes to throw around the word "socialist" - take a look at socialism in action, a member of the US military lives and exists in a socialist state everyday.
Exactly !!!!! Amen, Amen, again I say Amen
