So, I&#8217;m not sure that Ryan not mentioning veterans in his budget proposal is a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me that a non-partisan political group could mention the downside of supporting a president who has already proved that they&#8217;ll screw veterans at every opportunity. Be it suggesting that we buy health insurance to cover our service-connected injuries, warning local police that we&#8217;re a terrorist threat, or just generally screwing with our retirement plans.<\/p>\n<p>Like I&#8217;ve said, I&#8217;m pretty sure that the only reason Romney hasn&#8217;t screwed veterans is because he hasn&#8217;t had an opportunity yet, but at this juncture, I&#8217;m going to have to withhold any support of the known quantity and just hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>ADDED: So you can shake your head a little longer, this is the next article down;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/VoteVets-FB-Ryan-Romney-USS-Wisconsin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/VoteVets-FB-Ryan-Romney-USS-Wisconsin.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"VoteVets FB Ryan-Romney USS Wisconsin\" width=\"488\" height=\"412\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/VoteVets-FB-Ryan-Romney-USS-Wisconsin.jpg 488w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/VoteVets-FB-Ryan-Romney-USS-Wisconsin-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a little disingenuous to set up the discussion up like that when we&#8217;ve had countless examples of the President campaigning with actual troops sitting behind him.
