The last two speeches almost made me shed a tear. I'm applauding like an idiot from my living room.

Ditto... already shed a few tears from the families of murdered police officers to the parents of Captain Kahn.

I'm glad I'm hearing tough national security. The Sanders loons can go to hell. Babies. They won't last a day in the military.




Hey buddie.... lots of us older Sander supporters have had friends and family members that have served in the military, and even a few friends/family members lost in military service.

There's a lot more to support for Bernie Sanders than just a small number of college kids <25 years.

I appreciate and respect your service to our country in the US Armed Forces, and don't get too discouraged when there are a handful of delegates that are booing more about Democratic Party officials that signed off on Iraq War 2.0.

As a fellow Oregonian, I am proud that the Oregon National Guard was one of first units sent to Iraq as part of the Rumsfeld "Stop Loss" program and lost a friend at the hands of a roadside bomb outside of Taji/Camp Cooke who was a gunner in an Humvee that was not "uparmored", who grew up in the same small-town Oregon community where I grew up, where I went to my friends wedding and funeral separated over a very few short years.

Political seasons get rough, and yes there are a small number of Bernie delegates booing at the wrong time, but trust me the adults in the room and vast majority of Bernie supporters aren't just knee-jerks that don't get what it means to enlist with all of the sacrifices that entails.

But please, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater on account of a handful of young kids that have never been to a National Convention making a little noise regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq that allegedly had WMDs, where my friend died in combat, burned to death alive as a gunner most exposed to the impact.
