Retired Army Colonel: GWOT Vets Feel Extreme Resentment Toward Kamala Harris, Cheney, and Democrats Former President Donald Trump’s criticism of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as a war hawk has epitomized why so many Global War on Terrorism veterans resent Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrat party, according to a retired U.S. Army colonel’s op-ed on Monday. While veterans “answered the call because we love our country,” he wrote that “what we did not count on, though, was the politicians who sent us to those two decades of useless, endless war deciding in 2024 that they would rather support more war and not less by endorsing Kamala Harris.” “We did not count on Harris’ Democrat Party — Americans like us — and their media lackeys facilitating the strategic objectives of our enemies. Lastly, we did not count on the generals, who failed in leading us, selling out President Trump for their own personal gain and allying themselves with those same architects and proponents of defeat. This is the cause of our fury,” he added. But, he wrote, “Kamala Harris has accomplished something quite remarkable. She has assembled these three disparate groups into an improbable unholy trinity that now personifies the 1935 warning of Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler: ‘War is a Racket.'” He concluded, “In a sense, perhaps we should thank Harris for exposing the perfidy of those we once trusted. Instead, we will vote for her opponent and for a U.S. military that is called upon only when national survival is at stake. It’s not that we are afraid to die — it’s that we are no longer willing to die for nothing.”
Yeah, what vets want is a Commander in Chief who regards soldiers as losers, especially those who die or get caught. Someone who admires Hitler for "some of the good things he did," and his generals. Yeah, that's the ticket.
