Recent reports claim VA is blocking holiday celebrations. They do not!
Religious Exercise and Expression in VA Facilities
As much as the, Poser, patriotic, conservative especially, civilian, and even some veterans among them, population wants to label those few of us who've served them, especially in our wars, and it's military as 'christian', along with the population, it just ain't so and never has been!!
Those few, of us, who've served the many not only come from many religious ideologies, some with no religious affiliations, like, yes Trump Muslim, but also every walk of societies lives, not so many from them wealthy, politically connected or striving to join the political arena, Cruz and Rubio here's lookin at ya, ranks, and every skin tone color, always have!!
Frankly if that's what you wanted you should have demanded the Bush/Cheney/Cabal label the no bid contracted, extremely expensive, still not paid for, rapidly built private corporation mercenary army, under no regulation nor the UCMJ military codes and laws of, as 'christian' to satisfy them 'christian{?} souls of yours, too late and that damage was done and continues in the blowback from!!

Oh, and Trump, especially your supporters including any veterans foolish enough to support any conservative, see the above, I highlighted for ya, about Muslims and Other Faiths. Yes they do serve you all and have, but especially in this recent decade plus and the 21st century, for as long as we've had a military!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
And to those like the Trump, a so called, military style private high school education does Not make you a Veteran, especially along with us who've served in this countries war theaters, Not Even Close!! You're no different then those in my time, you Trump never served with us, Vietnam, who's connections got them into the 'champagne guard units', though they do have a leg up on ya they actually were in the military even if they shirked some of that duty, or the rest of the 'chickenhawks' that love to bluster about their patriotism and tough guy images, self built. Like those in these times, especially as to 9/11, like Rubio who just turned 43 this year or the Cruz who opted into political cushy job, still wonder or why how he got hired, at 43. After the Bushco gave them more then ample time by raising the Voluntary Recruitment age Twice to 42 as the few were serving multiple tours in the Afghan and Iraq theaters, as well as in support of!!
And those in the Trump top brackets, ya all haven't paid a dime since 9/11, conservatives now like to use that as their 'trump' card of strong on national defense, along with them huge defense budgets, what with them two huge Bush tax cuts, as two more wars were waged, extremely quickly abandoning the missions and those sent to accomplish after 9/11, and the many other schemes and perks congress has bestowed on ya!!

Sen. Bernie Sanders told Conservatives: “If you can’t afford to take care of your veterans, than don’t go war. These people are bearing the brunt of what war is about, We have a moral obligation to support them.” February, 26th, 2014
