That's exactly what I mean.  A headline comes out, and people just run with it, and don't bother to fact check.  It benefits the Russians for Americans to be accusing their political operatives of being Russian plants or stooges.   The Democratic establishment created an entire false narrative about Trump being Putin's cronie.  They're not that imaginative, so they're accusing Sanders of the same thing.  Not realizing that by pushing the narrative that our democracy is compromised, they're the ones doing Russia's bidding.

I enlisted in 99 into the Reserves, got an ROTC scholarship in 2001 before 9/11, and was an active duty officer from 2006-2013

Out of curiosity, how do you validate they're combat veterans?  Do you refer them to the VA for care?  I work with some organizations in Pittsburgh, and know a lot of people claim to be veterans, but aren't.  If they're suffering from PTSD, the VA is obligated to provide health care for life as well as treatment.  Getting people to come in is a challenge in itself, and often alcohol and drug addiction are serious problems combined with behavior that makes it impossible for the VA (or any health care facility) to treat.  We did away with asylums in the 1970s, and have a huge homeless population as a partial result of that.  Not telling you how do you your charity, but both the American Legion and VFW have Veteran Service Officers that assist in finding help, and getting Veteran's setup in the VA for treatment.

But, if these guys got dishonorable discharges, which a lot of the drug users have, they lose VA benefits.

If you're going to start your uniformed conspiracy shit again, I'm out.  There are two sections of the Mueller report - one dealing with conspiracy and one dealing with obstruction.  Mueller made it clear in the first volume there was no evidence of conspiracy, completely deflating the left wing conspiracy of Russia compromising Trump.  The Obstruction charge, was as you said, largely ignored due to current and historical DoJ guidance.  You don't get to confuse and conflate them to make an argument in your head.

No one is saying Russia is hacking our current election.  They said there are indications Russia wants Trump to win.  That's a fact.

You don't get to ignore the details, and inject your conspiracy into the discussion, then lob a personal insult at me when I call you out on it.  If you have an article to link that makes a substantive claim to refute anything I said, please do.  But what you don't get to do is post your own conspiracy theories as fact, and get angry when I comment that your statements are factually inaccurate or conjecture.  Let me know when you find that Melania stand in you were convinced exists.
