Cause we have the "support our troops" party, that cuts them off at the knees when they come home and are no longer serving

If you don't lose your legs in wartime, you'll lose them when you get home.

Yeah it's not that the dems to such a great job either. But Republicans in particular have this reputation because they always go on and on about vets and the military. Then when it comes time to actually do something about it, the party as a whole seems to (usually) drag their feet.

More money for the military industrial complex? No worries. Better care for vets? Well hold on now, we have other priorities first.

It's pretty clear that it's more of a talking point that it is a real issue for many Republican politicians. But yeah it's not all on one party for sure
