How Would Fallen Veterans Feel About the State of America Today?

Why do the majority of veterans support and have loyalty for US President Donald Trump, when he has repeatedly shown them nothing but contempt? Trump has gone on the record saying that he thinks veterans are “suckers” and “losers”, and consistently votes to remove their rights and access to support. He disrespects their service, their sacrifice and was draft dodger himself. Is this the future and values of America that they fought for, and laid down their lives for? Let’s talk about this perplexing phenomenon, because this past Memorial Day weekend, fallen veterans are rolling in their graves. In Episode 150 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill reflects on Memorial Day, emphasizing its significance as a day of remembrance for those who served in the military. He discusses the historical context of military conflicts in the United States and questions the current state of American values under President Trump, particularly regarding his treatment of veterans and the erosion of rights. The conversation highlights the disconnect between the sacrifices made by service members and the current political climate, urging listeners to consider the implications of leadership and societal values.Become a YouTube channel member to hear Bill’s stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon’t forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!
