Personally as a veteran who served during Nam I don't care that Trump calls veterans losers. I'd never vote for him so he is the loser, but many veterans like him or tolerate him as they hate the other side. Maybe hate is too strong a word, but you see it and read it from them online and in person. One wonders why, as they served to defend our republic/democracy and Trump wants to control it and destroy its values and freedoms. Go figure, I can't!
