In Larry LaCroix's letter to the editor ("Neither Great Nor Brave," July 1), I think he hit it right on in his description of the presidential candidate.

I, too, am a Vietnam Combat Vet, United States Marine Corps, and would like to state for the record that not only do I think that every vet, regardless of war or conflict should vote for the candidate who is going to make America and its Armed Forces great again.

LaCroix so elegantly described the candidate, using the words "shameful," "disgraceful," "lying," "embarrassing," and said the candidate was pathetic.

The only flaw in his letter that I can see is that he got the candidate's name wrong. It should have been "Hillary Clinton."

Count the number of Americans, both military and civilian, who have died on President Obama's and Clinton's watch, and what can be expected if she is elected?
