Article Title: Why Veterans Really Hate Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, And The Architects Of The War On Terror

Article Excerpt: "...Many veterans of the Global War on Terrorism feel extreme resentment toward Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party — and here’s why. ...the media and Democrats who undermined the veterans’ GWOT missions, and the generals who failed again and again ...

Many of us stood by those neocons — even defended them in our private lives against slanderous lies — and now they turn on us by opposing the one man who vows that these sorts of wars will end.
