The despicable ones: Using the plight of our wounded warriors to promote hatred toward immigrants

It is a sad state of affairs when a certain faction of the public decides to take it upon themselves to use our military personnel who have fallen on hard times as a result of their courageous efforts to defend democracy.

“They have fought the good fight to liberate those same immigrants you choose to hate.”

Many have suffered unimaginable physical and mental wounds and have turned to the street to escape the real world or because the previous government made changes to their packages and then sat back and did nothing.

We all agree that more must be done for the retired military personnel  however it serves no purpose to post or send a meme that says "If you think this veteran should come before immigrants click like".... You are doing our service personnel a disservice when you use them to advance your bigotry against those who they so valiantly defended and have been displaced through no fault of their own.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
Dwight David Eisenhower
