Military Times questionnaire: What will the Democratic presidential candidates do for troops, veterans?
By: Leo Shane III  


So far, the race to replace President Donald Trump as commander in chief hasn’t focused much on how Democratic hopefuls would run the military.

In the four televised debates already completed, only a few questions have focused on foreign policy and national defense, and those have been largely confined to Trump’s recent moves in the Middle East. Military personnel issues, veterans suicide prevention and other topics of particular interest to those in the ranks have largely been confined to local campaign speeches and individual candidate statements.

To fix that, Military Times reached out to the Democratic campaigns in recent weeks with a series of military- and veterans-focused questions that have been overlooked in the broader national election conversation.

Here are the candidates’ responses.

Why ask? History has shown exactly what democrats do, not for but to, our troops and veterans. They will cut funding to every aspect of our military, from supply to infrastructure, from new and advanced equipment to medical and mental health funding for our vets. They will slander, mock and vilify our soldiers.

Simple. Bring in desperate 3rd worlders who will be promised citizenship,houses,and jobs if they enlist in the army and go to war against the US citizens in rebellion.
