Here's conservative artist Jon McNaughton's Obamanation Painting. (Used without Permission)
Let's notice a few things. Everything is Obama's fault! See the BP Oil Spill? Obama's Fault!
Even more despicably look at Usama Bin Laden's picture (nearly dead center) and the Jet flying towards UN Headquarters in an obvious attempt to invoke 9/11, along with images of all the Right-Wing phony Obama Scandals.
But, just off the President's right is former POW Bowe Bergdahl. As Donald Trump continues his takeover of the Republican Party it's easy to forget that Bergdahl was at first a brave warrior left to rot by the scurrilous President Obama and then a terrible traitor worse than Benedict Arnold when his release was secured by that cad President Obama. So quick was the right-wing reaction, that conservatives and Republican politicians quickly back-tracked and scrubbed any positive mention to Bergdahl on their websites and election materials.
Well, Trump has resurrected Bergdahl only to pantomime shooting him dead,
"We get a traitor like Berghdal, a dirty rotten traitor, who by the way when he deserted, six young beautiful people were killed trying to find him. And you don’t even hear about him anymore. Somebody said the other day, well, he had some psychological problems. You know, in the old days ……bing – bong. When we were strong, when we were strong."
And this coming so soon after Trump ridiculed John McCain and saw his poll number sky-rocket. Conservatives love Trump's message, this is just another in the long line of Conservative un-Values.
Remember the Right supposedly is in awe and reveres the Troops. But, just as when Mitt Romney couldn't differentiate between Military Members and the Military-Industrial-Complex,
Remember the Right supposedly is in awe and reveres the Troops. But, just as when Mitt Romney couldn't differentiate between Military Members and the Military-Industrial-Complex,
"When you give a speech, you talk about things you think are important... I didn’t use the word troops, I used the word military, and I think [giggles] they refer to the same thing.” - Mitt Romney.Or the gross misogyny directed at the two Female Army Rangers, Conservatives only support Troops and Veterans who help advance their agenda of Intolerance, Oppression and Adulation of the Rich. This is why Donald Trump is doing so well, Donald Trump is American Conservatism.

FOX News, the regular source for virulent shitbaggery, had retired Lt Col Ralph Peters on back in 2009 roughly when Bergdahl was captured to shit on Bergdahl and imply he should just be shot, already.

So conservatives were already shitting on a US service member captured in a time of war because they did not like "losers"--the same comment Trump made about McCain.
You could prize them for consistency if the consistency wasn't that of a choleric shit.
You're right Vixen, thanks for reminding me about Ralph Peters when he paraded out onto Faux News imploring the Taliban to kill Bergdahl. But, I know that wasn't the conscientious opinion amongst right-wingers until President Obama brought Bergdahl home, at which point it became another phony wingnut scandal.
The truth is the only kinds of Veterans that conservatives support are Tom Cotton or the skull-mask wearing prominent Oathkepper Charles Dyer.
Meanwhile, Trump is laying bare the Monster of the Conservative Id.
