Theses kinds of ads make me sick. I really cannot stand political candidates (on both sides) using Vets and soldiers as persuasion engines. It is disgusting and dishonors the Vets. A couple of years ago McCain got in hot water over stuff like this. Using your military service as some sort of credential to give you more authority over others goes against the grain of what military "service" is.

I agree that it can be taken too far, but I don't think it's all bad. Our veterans have real problems that need to be addressed (the VA as one example), and these sorts of issues should be at the forefront of campaigns. But I do dislike that veterans can become a sort of crutch to fall back on for an easy cheer.

Now, let me look at this in another light.

Being this is an anti-Trump ad, if he becomes president, the problem of retaliation is non-existent. If this was an Anti-Hillary ad, then there will be vengeance. Current and prior military will have no concern on repercussions with Republicans. Democrats?, different story. Hillary can cause youto lose your retirement or any benefit you may have gotten while serving. Just because we have ETS'd or retired, does not make us safe.

What's going to sink Trump is Trump University . He said he hand picked the professors and when asked at the deposition he could not recognize one. And he said he was involved with the University and he wasn't. Students were in encourage to use there credit cards to pay the tuition. Since after they graduated they would be in demand and earning lots of money.

He's so full of himself. Someone needs to bust that ego.

Trump U is a private school. He can hand pick who ever he wants. You guys are creating booby traps for yourself. If you push that line of reasoning, U of Phoenix mgmt needed to be jailed years ago for saying the same thing.

TSgt Neither one is without a lot of baggage and worthy of the job. The hightest office in our country and it comes down to a showman and a crook. Something is bad wrong here.
