You would think the state of Virginia, home to two of America's biggest military installations (Norfolk Naval Station/Oceana Naval Air Station/Fort Story Amphibious Base and the Pentagon) would you know, love the troops. Virginia is full of troops! Seriously, you can't go six feet in Virginia without tripping on a servicemember.

But if you think John Kerry was bad, well let me tell you, he can't even come close to Virginia for hating on troops.

First, one of Virginia's current Senators, rather than merely insulting troops, actively has his staffers beat up veterans. [Rev Dr ed. Here's the YouTube]



On top of that, the Servicemen's Legal Defense Network reports that the state is considering legislation to invalidate all the powers of attorney, living wills, medical directives, and other formal agreements between unmarried, deployed members of the military and their SOs. Wow! That is some serious nonsupport of the troops!
