    I replied with this:
    Whoever wrote this meme has no clue. As a veteran, and a member of veterans pages on Farcebook, I can tell you that we take serious issue with the kneeling. Yes, the VA has failed many of us, but that's a government boondoggle issue. These players have no hand in that. We feel that they are disrespecting us, because of the sacrifices we made to defend our country and flag, and disrespecting all those who came home in a box, covered by that flag.
    As far as mental healthcare goes, Every time I have to call the VA to make an appointment, there is a recording on their telling us that if we have mental health issues we need to call a different number. So mental health care is offered but you have to actually ask for it. As far as housing, you have to ask for help there also. The biggest problem I have with the VA is where they spend their money. I sat in the Tampa VA Hospital almost all day waiting for a CT scan when they told us they only had one machine working and finally at 5 o'clock I left. The problem is three months earlier when I went in for a CT scan they only had one machine working then as well. But it was fine for them to spend over million dollars on new office furniture for the VA headquarters.

    • NAILED IT Joe. The VA is a bloated government disgrace. I hope President Trump will fix this ( and he is taking steps ).
      WAKE UP AMERICA, and realize who the "REAL HEROS" are 🇺🇸🗽

  • This trip could actually have pre dated this whole drama so he had to go. If sincere, he probably hoped they would behave at least to not look like fools down there with the VP watching. But if Mr. Trump says: "Get up and leave if they act like fools" then he has to get up and leave and he himself has the conviction so what it the problem?

    If it was a publicity stunt then it is what it is...

  • It may have been a (costly) publicity stunt as people say... so what? We paid for Obama to go to some glacier somewhere, so he could take photos of the melting glacier so he could virtue signal about global warming and that trip took three days. It is what it is. If it was a publicity stunt it served its purpose. However this is no where as bad as kneeling and acting like a fool for supposed oppression that doesn't exist

  • Leave it to the communist news network to try and turn something around and spin it. It is no wonder they are like the last mole trying to look out the whole.

  • Why do I feel like he is lying? Or else he'll complain that they only reason he got a job is because he would be a 'good' one.

  • Cnn is reporting this like the place is run by 12 year olds.

    " Pence leaves game after anthem protest like Trump told him to"

    That is their website header right now. I expected to open the story and see Trump quoted as saying, " Nana nana, nanny nanny boo boo, We showed you." Or something to that effect.

    • Not to be outdone by themselves, they've changed the header to read, " Pence leaves NFL game after anthem protest. Trump told him to"

  • Good job, VP. Good job. Kneeling for the national anthem in protest is disrespect for the whole nation and is especially disrespect for the man elected to be VP of the nation who is sitting there watching, so what else could he do but leave?
