Men and women return from war zones and are unable to connect with their friends and family members. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (more widely known as PTSD) is rampant among veterans. Mental health is another big concern for our nation's veterans. You don't have to like where the military is sent or the causes they are sent to fight for (or against) but refusing to support our men and women in uniform is not going to do change anything and you're naive if you think it will. There are very few people in the country who have a say in where the military goes (the main person, of course, being the President of the United States). It is their choice to serve, but it is not their choice to fight no. The men and women who serve are protecting each and every one of us-regardless of whether or not you agree with every military campaign the USA becomes embroiled in. You should be thankful that there are enough volunteers to serve in the armed forces to make the draft unnecessary. If you're a pacifist you don't have to fight in our wars-a luxury that would not be afforded to you if we still lived in the era of the draft. What it is not, however, is a reason to avoid supporting our veterans. Pacifism is a noble belief and an ideal the world as a whole should strive towards. Many cite pacifism as a reason to avoid getting involved in this cause. I strongly believe that this indecency stems from a long history of disrespect to women as a whole, rather than the simple stones and knives being thrown at your opponent. Trump summed up his sexist attitude himself when he said, in 1991, "You know, it doesn't really matter what write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” Fast forward to the past five years, when he has been classifying other women in politics- such as Hillary Clinton, Ariana Huffington, and Megan Kelly-as “bimbos” and “unable to satisfy a man,” and has further included the barbaric questioning of their menstruation. When I watched Biff Tannen’s meltdown on his wife, and his snide remarks toward a woman’s body, status, and ability, I noticed an odd similarity to Donald Trump’s comments. Trump has presented to us in the past year, over the Internet, in live debates, and during press conferences. This reminds me of Biff Tannen’s rampage on many characters in the "Back To The Future" movies but most importantly, in the sequel, when he beat down his wife mentally and physically, using phrases akin to what Mr. However, it has been reported that his supporters enjoy his political incorrectness, as he says what he feels. He has refuted, shouted, cursed, sworn, insulted, and said about every politically incorrect remark that is thinkable. He has acquired this control behind the power of the First Amendment. Over the past year, Donald Trump has attained an unbelievably vast audience-though most of his followers are not diverse and seem likeminded on the issue of diversity.
