This is one of the reasons I try to stay off Facebook. When you pop on you have really no control over the first post you see. Well, one day I pop on and the first post I see is a derogatory/slur against one of the VP picks and his military service. So, of course, one of his buddies had posted a derogatory post related to the other VP pick and his military service, to which he responds to his friend with, “Anyone who serves is a hero.” 
Being who I am, I had to ask, if you truly feel this way why did you make the original post?  To which he replies, “Those are my cop friends, they should know better!” 
I say, I can understand their frustration. If you truly feel anyone who has served is a hero, why did you make the original post?  To which he replies, “I know you love Trump!” To which I say, the question is, if you feel anyone who served is a hero, why did you make this post? Is it because his political view is not yours?  To which he replied, “Enough, I know you love Trump/Vance.” 
First off, nowhere in this conversation did I state an endorsement of anyone.  He was right about one thing. ENOUGH, if you truly believe anyone who has served is a hero don’t make fun of them, no matter what political side you stand with or what color, race, etc. We all bleed the same, those who fought and all those who died were for the same cause:  protecting us, this country and our freedoms!
Thank you to anyone who has served this country, you truly are the Heroes! God Bless!
