The Administration honoring veterans… not at all.
Trump really is the necrotising fasciitis of the body politic.
There is so much the government always hides from us because they do not want to take responsibility for the shit they sent us into throughout this countrie's history.

I'm addition to today's fun, fuck the VA man.
A doctor almost killed my bud by giving him meds and not listening when my bud said he was not feeling well. The doc said he was fine and even increased the dose.
It put him in the ICU.
Times like these are when you wish you could sue the shit out of the Veteran Affairs.
As if the VA needed -more- reasons to deny veterans care. 🤦🏿♂️
