The right-wing "conservatives" have for years disrespected and/or hated any service member or veteran who does not support right-wing ideology, and who is or was a member of a minority, despite all of this "thank you for your service" stuff.
Think of the way they have treated such people as Max Cleland, Tammy Duckworth, the Gold Star family of the late Captain Humayun Khan, and John Kerry, to name just a few. Female and LGBT service members are insulted about daily for merely choosing to serve their country.
Some months ago, I mentioned my cousin, a Marine Corps vet, who supported President Obama, Clinton's candidacy, and supports President Biden, on a USMB thread. Some right-wing type replied that my cousin has abandoned American values, and basically called him a traitor.
Notwithstanding the fact that my cousin volunteered to defend our nation and these values, apparently this guy thinks that he is not entitled to exercise his fundamental rights as an American because he is not a right-winger.
