Conservative radio host Michael Savage called veterans with PTSD a bunch of whiny, crybabies who are weak and only live for a government handout.
Michael Savage Is Sick And Tired Of Veterans With PTSD Crying Like Babies
October 21, 2014

You can always count on a conservative chickenhawk to promote war, torture and then attack our troops. Enter Michael Weiner Savage, who got upset with a caller who wanted to rename a San Francisco tunnel in honor of comedian Robin Williams. After the caller said he was a veteran, suffering from PTSD, Savage really let him have it.

After a lengthy argument, Savage hung up on the caller and proceeded to attack him. “I am so sick and tired with everyone with their complaints about PTSD, depression. Everyone wants their hand held and a check, a government check. What, are you the only generation that had PTSD? The only generation that’s depressed?”

He then blamed America’s problems on those who “cry like a little baby” over depression: “If the whole nation is told, ‘boo-hoo-hoo, come and get a medication, come and get treatment, talk about mental illness,’ you know what you wind up with? You wind up with Obama in the White House and lawyers in every phase of the government, that’s what you wind up with. It’s a weak, sick nation. A weak, sick, broken nation.”

Savage continued that veterans with PTSD are a “bunch of losers” and recommended that they be more like Michael Savage.

“You need men like me to save the country,” he said. “You need men to stand up and say stop crying like a baby over everything.” He continued that “men are so weak and so narcissistic” that it is “no wonder ISIS can defeat our military.”

Most conservative talkers only support the troops whenever it benefited their goals of attacking Liberals.

Savage is actually calling this man a weak, crying baby who whines about depression only to get a government handout, who served his country in war and got PTSD from it. Words cannot describe this. Michael then goes on to say how he was raised to be strong and fight depression. If only Savage could be dropped into a war zone for a tour of duty.
