Iraq war veteran J. R. Salzman, who lost an arm in a 2006 attack in Baghdad, showed little mercy for President Obama Friday when he posted a series of tweets slamming the president for throwing away the sacrifices so many made in Iraq.
Salzman didn’t pull any punches in telling Obama to “do your job,” and also reminded him of his own words during an earlier encounter between the two, according to Twitchy:
I did not get an arm blown off in Baghdad so you could sit on your ass and watch Iraq fall, @BarackObama. I did my job. DO YOUR JOB.

Remember when we met in 2007 @BarackObama? You said you were proud of our sacrifices. So why did you throw them away? pic.twitter.com/NYrX8Xllbx

Despite his own sacrifices, Salzman let Obama know that some paid with the last full measure of devotion and asked if he would be willing to apologize to their families:
This is my friend SGT Turcotte. Will you apologize to his family for throwing away our sacrifices, @BarackObama? pic.twitter.com/gciRraPw82

Popular Florida eatery tells vet
‘his kind’ not welcome; backlash follows
Earlier, Salzman, now a champion logroller, shared his thoughts on Obama’s attitude toward veterans — powerful commentary.
Between Iraq, the VA, and the Burgdahl debacle, I’m having trouble thinking this is incompetence on Obama’s part & not malice toward vets.

Why doesn’t @BarackObama just burn the VA down? Barricading vet memorials, VA scandal, fumbling Iraq, he clearly doesn’t care about vets.

Why not just burn the VA down, @BarackObama, and seal the deal on vets? When have you done anything for vets besides use us political pawns?
