Vets slam Trump for 'raiding funds' from military pensions to pay for border wall
Trump is going to take more than $220 million from the pensions of American military members to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a Wednesday Wall Street Journal report.
"It is abhorrent, unpatriotic and disgraceful that Donald Trump is raiding funds that had been appropriated for our troops' retirements, to fund his racist wall," Will Goodwin, an Army veteran and director of government relations for VoteVets, said in a statement. Goodwin added that the money "could still be used to help other military families facing hard times."
"Donald Trump, every day, is proving himself to be anti-troop and anti-military family. Today, however, is a particularly egregious example of that."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
