Would you to vote for a person, especially a veteran, if they disrespected-discriminated against a soldier/veteran or allowed such?

Back in 2019, Marion County Board Of County Commissioners (FL) knowingly allowed their Human Resources to "Medically Terminate" a Service-Connected Veteran for receiving a VA-Issued oxygen therapy Rx. The Commissioners, the County Administrator, The Deputy County Administrator knew of it and did nothing to stop it. The EEOC (Miami) Chief Investigator (a Vet) couldn't exonerate the County, who did little to find a real accommodation to retain the Veteran.
One of those Commissioners is a a naval veteran, as is the Governor, who has seemingly done squat to intercede.
I don't know how any Veteran could NOT aid a Wounded Warrior and would love their explanation.
Wouldn't you?
Would you expect a College to retain the person that started that "medical-termination" witch hunt, like the University of Central Florida has done with that running-scared Engineer from Marion County?

I apologize, but there is sone information seemingly lacking. If the policy associated with the WWarrior Veteran would have otherwise called for the separation of any other employee then there is no issue. It may be sad and seemingly evil, but there are no exceptions to sone policies, even for Vets.

Is there something with the Vets duties that would be hampered by the utilization of the oxygen tank? If so, the burden is on the Vet. However, it would seem that the Office for which he works should/could be able to offer him a different position. Again, if not then the Vet has retraining options through the VA. He can also apply for Social Security Disability.

Again, without all the facts, these point may assist when considering next steps. It would be a bold move for State level agencies to unlawfully terminate a Wounded Warrior without just cause.

PFC Edgar Mosier Based on what is posted about this and the disrespect of a fellow Veteran, hell no, I wouldn't vote for them. I suspect the consensus of our Rally Point members would be the same.
