VoteVets, a progressive coalition of 560,000 veterans and their families according to its Twitter bio, fired back at President Donald Trump for his “inappropriate” and “self-promotional” Memorial Day tweet, quipping #CadetBoneSpurs.
This is the most inappropriate #MemorialDay comment that a @POTUS has ever made. Self-promotion on a day to remember the fallen, and wishing those remembering their deceased loved ones a “happy” holiday is appalling. #CadetBoneSpurs pic.twitter.com/kRse4dnwiu

The President received widespread criticism for the tone-deaf tweet.
Snowflake!!!1!!!eleven!!
Like Trump gives a shit about a tweet from a “fake” organization.
Why has Trump not attacked VoteVets in his morning Tweets?
Why has my VFW and my American Legion not attacked Trump?
Great response from the vets.
If there are any veterans or their families who support Trump’s Memorial Day tweet, I’d like to hear the reasoning.
Because they are made up of old white guys (Republicans) who are willing to give Trump a pass on this, just like the evangelical christians give him a pass. Most of the Vets I know are from the Vietnam era such as my husband are liberals and wouldn’t be caught death with VFW or AL
