VFW doesn’t usually comment on politics so this is fairly big deal.
Heck JD Vance was literally at the VFW just a while ago.

It’s not even like these people are deserving of this award. They’re just people who give him money or flatter him (e.g. Rush Limbaugh.) At least previous recipients contributed to the country in some way.

Hey VFW, the word you are looking for is “disqualifying”

How long before keyboard warrior Con-Old hurls school yard insults at the VFW on his 3rd rate social media site?

Most veterans have a bone headed allegiance to the cult.

I’m having trouble figuring out if trump’s people are intentionally sabotaging him or he’s just that incapable of any self control whatsoever. There’s plenty of evidence for the latter, but why would they allow him to even go near any military or their medals? He’s already said enough disastrous things about veterans, why even give him the opportunity to keep fucking it up?

It infuriates me that so many veterans, Marines specifically in my personal experience, have pledged their allegiance to someone that has so little regard for them.
Last year my sister’s husband, a former Marine, asked me what I thought his political affiliation was. In an attempt to be diplomatic, I responded “Independent leaning conservative?” He replied, “No. I’m a Trump loyalist.” I burst out laughing, couldn’t help myself. You can’t make this shit up.
I am an American & I have so much respect for our veterans. I am also a social worker & I see how little support they receive in return for their service. I hope one day they see the light.

God this resonates so much. So, my uncle—who’s been farming since forever and was all-in on Trump—just told me he’s thinking about voting for Kamala Harris. I couldn’t believe it. The guy’s got a MAGA hat in his truck, for crying out loud! But he said she came to town and actually talked about stuff that matters to them, like fixing their busted internet, getting real healthcare out there, and sticking it to the big corporations screwing over farmers.
He goes, “She’s the first one who actually seems to get it. Not just running her mouth.” And I’m sitting there like, “Holy crap, if you’re thinking of flipping, Trump’s so screwed.”
I mean, if someone like my uncle—who’s been hardcore Republican his whole life—is even considering jumping ship, Trump’s gotta be losing sleep. The dude’s base is starting to crack, and if more folks like my uncle switch sides, Trump’s not just in trouble—he’s totally fucked.
2024’s gonna be a shitshow, no doubt. Trump thought he had rural America locked down, but if my uncle’s ready to ditch him, he’s in for a rude awakening.
But please, conservatives, educate me on why Walz retiring after 24 years instead of 25 makes him worse

Absolutely disgusting – MOH citations and the stories behind them are heart breaking. The MOH is for bravery and sacrifice so insane most of the recipients don’t survive. So for Trump to compare it, lessen it, in the context of giving an award to a billionaire’s widow who he’s sucking up to for $$$…is beyond disgusting. He may as well wipe his ass with the flag and use a crucifix to scratch his balls. Of course, he’s too dumb to see it that way. In any case, f this guy. Walz should be busting that couch fucking emo boy on this every day between now and election day.

“When a candidate to serve as commander-in-chief so brazenly dismisses the valor and reverence symbolized by the Medal of Honor, I question whether they would discharge their responsibilities with the seriousness and discernment necessary,” Lipphardt concluded in his statement.
That question has been answered in abundance. There is nothing serious about Trump aside from self-interest.

>Trump spoke about giving Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
>“That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version,” Trump told attendees.
>“It’s actually much better, because everyone who gets the congressional Medal of Honor, that’s soldiers, they’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead. She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman,” Trump said with a chuckle, eliciting applause from the crowd. “And they’re rated equal.”
The quote needs to be read to be believed.

“Because there are some people who don’t serve in our military but should still be recognized with the highest honor our country has to offer them,”
That’s potentially true, but that “honor” should not be directly correspond to their “contributions to one’s political campaign” – a.k.a., bribes.
