Mike Pence and the Military

Mike Pence TV commercials all sound like god bless America, all of them have waves of grain, American Flags, etc. Nothing about what he would do or really stands for, etc. Just wants everyone to take his word for it, very very god and country. Well I think he has hit a new low with this type of campaign. His newest ad is about the Indiana National Guard and how proud he is we have the fourth largest guard in the nation. He goes on to say: "When our nation calls, Indiana’s sons and daughters answer. We owe them a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid." He then goes on to say "What makes today's military so special they all volunteered." What makes Mike Pence so special he didn’t. He never served. He never volunteered. As a veteran I don't mind that he never served but I am insulted by the way he using this message to try and show how proud he is. Fellow vets remember this fake support for our troops this fall. A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’ Joe Weingarten Captain United States Air Force 1967-1971
