o Veterans say The military teaches you to kill, it doesn't teach you how to live with killing. Nobody wants to say, “I'm at the lowest point in my life, and I need help.” Nobody wants to say that. And nobody's saying, “Hey buddy, you fought for us, lemme help you.” We're forgetting them. Trump doesn't. A Gulf War veteran quoted in The Gilded Rage, by Alexander Zaitchik © 2016 Kwiple.com
