Politics doesn't belong here. This is about Chris Kyles death and recognizing his, and others who serve our country (not political party).

@@beckylb8610 stop disvaloring them and i'll stop crying for once.

@AjaychinuShah Do you mean devaluing them? Disvaloring isn't a word in the dictionary but I recognizethe valor our troops have. I do not disvalue anyone, especially our military men and women. I have had uncles, cousins, and a godson serve in different wars going back to WWI. I lost an uncle in WWII, and my nephew is currently deployed in a tense part of the world right now. A cousin was a green beret in Vietnam, and he had some PTSD and could never be touched if asleep or you could find yourself pinned on your back with his hand to your neck until he woke up. I was born during the Vietnam War. Even at a really young age, my parents stressed that our service men and women should always be honored and treated with deference. I remember my parent's disgust when hearing about citizens spitting on our soldiers or other bad things because they had fought in Vietnam. As a result, my family said "never again" would that happen in every subsequent military conflicts. They spoke out. When they saw a soldier, they were kind and caring. They stressed to me that no matter what a citizen thinks about a war, our troops are separate from politics because the troops have to follow orders and sacrifice themselves in many ways for our freedom. If a citizen disagrees with a war, they need to go to the political realm with their objections but should always be respectful, kind, and caring towards our troops for their sacrifices. So, I will speak up about any former president being applauded in a comment chain recognizing our service men and women. That is because never again should the two be joined to protect our troops from what happened to our Vietnam veterans. The only exception would be if a president served in the armed forces and that president is relevant to the topic. For example, George Washington isn't necessarily relevant to honoring Chris Kyle. If the chain is about honoring prisoners of war nd what they go through, it might be appropriate to recognize the likes of John McCain. But never again should politics be tied to our troops.
