“It is even more disappointing when these comments come from a man who already served in this noble office and frankly should already know better”
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), the country’s largest veterans advocacy group, condemned Donald Trump in a new statement after comments the former president made earlier this week comparing the Congressional Medal of Honor to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
At an event meant to center on fighting antisemitism Thursday at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey golf club, Trump talked about awarding a civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 to megadonor Miriam Adelson, noting how its equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor — the highest military honor given for valor in combat — but even better, because that’s given to soldiers “in very bad shape … or they’re dead.”

“fair-minded people declined to condemn her on mere suspicion”
Finally, we’re seeing some real resistance. Most of the fellas I know thru the local pub have been insufferable Trumpers, but they also drink at the VFW down the road.
I hope this signals a turning pont.
The insufferables will just say the deep state got to the VFW. Other veterans realized what was up with Trump when he went after a gold star family.
