Military veterans rip Donald Trump to shreds over West Point debacle
Right now West Point is trying to figure out how to bring its graduating cadets back to the academy for an in-person graduation ceremony, just so Donald Trump can give a self-congratulating commencement speech. It shouldn’t be happening. Some prominent military veterans are calling Trump out for it.
Will Goodwin, the Director of Government Relations at VoteVets, had this to say:
.
Former New York Times columnist and Vietnam War draftee Clyde Haberman is calling Trump out as well:
As a Vietnam-era draftee, service number US52773245, I’d like to say it would be disgraceful to bring these West Point kids back to campus to serve not their country but, sure as a sunrise, as props for a Trump campaign commercial.
