Michael Savage: Veterans Who Suffer From PTSD Are A Bunch Of Wussies
On Michael Savage’s radio show last week, he argued with a caller over whether California lawmakers should rename a San Francisco tunnel in honor of Robin Williams. Savage objected, and the caller, who suffers rom post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), defended the move.
Then the radio host attacked the veteran saying, “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?”
Savage went on to blame 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?,” he asked. “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 went on to call veterans who are suffering from PTSD a “bunch of losers” and said, “You need men like me to save the country.”
“You need men to stand up and say stop crying like a baby over everything.” He continued to say, “no wonder ISIS can defeat our military.”

Where were you during Vietnam,
big? PIG man?Another R.W. chicken hawk. Always willing to fight to the last drop of other people’s blood.

Where were you during Vietnam, big PIG man?
College deferment, and counting plants in S. America.

Or protesting the antiwar protesters being pro-war with Mitt Romeny while they voided the draft through deferment. Hey, Wasn’t Cheney among that ilk as well?
William October 21st, 2014 at 22:02
Cheney received 5 deferments. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/01/politics/campaign/01CHEN.html
The coveted student deferments (for those who could afford college)
There are however, those who despite a privileged upbringing and an Ivy league education, willfully volunteered. See John Kerry.

As one who suffers from depression, this man is ignorant. Note how absent he was in the wars we fought while he’s complaining against those who fight for his right to put them down. Maybe if he lost his show and got sued for all of his wealth, he’d understand depression, and how traumatic it is for someone to remove his sorry right wing ass from the airwaves, and his ability to live on the most meager of means.

You have to understand that Michael Savage (Weiner) is a sociopath who never served, nor has his son, in the military. It’s all about ratings, that’s all.
Ayn Awnemus October 21st, 2014 at 18:51
Who is a bigger jerk, Savage or Limbaugh?
Tommy6860 October 21st, 2014 at 18:57
There’s nothing dissimilar between utter assholes.
Dwendt44 October 22nd, 2014 at 01:15
Savage had children. I don’t know HOW but he did. Limpball won’t, he’s more into keeping his money for drugs.

jerk is too pleasant.
Larry Schmitt October 21st, 2014 at 18:38
In previous wars it was called battle fatigue or shell shock, but it’s always been around. War is a nasty business, and people don’t react to it like they do in the movies. And some lard ass who never wore a uniform has no right to belittle a veteran’s condition. Go f*** yourself, Savage.

Seems to have spent a lot of time in a lot of graduate schools during the war in Vietnam. But I’m sure that’s a total coincidence.
jasperjava October 21st, 2014 at 18:56
Savage went to graduate school?
Coulda fooled me.

He didn’t say he learned anything.

Had plenty of chances to serve ; chickened out; but he is the usual flag waving patriot that would save America if only more men were like him; chicken hawk; talks cheep Michael or what ever your name is.
Dwendt44 October 22nd, 2014 at 01:13
He’s 4′ 11″ tall, so exempt from military service.

And that makes Michael Savage an extremism, hatred, and a total idiot.
No wonder on May 5, 2009, it was announced by then-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith that Savage was on a list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdomas he is “considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence.”
His last name fits him well.
whatthe46 October 21st, 2014 at 19:25
shame is not a part of his vocabulary. i doubt he’s even aware the word exist, let alone its meaning. fk’n disgusting.
forpeace October 21st, 2014 at 19:36
Yes, he is indeed disguting.

I’m sick and tired of all these right wing douche bags spouting their stupidity on the radio. Sure wish the plug could be pulled on all of them…

As long as the troops aren’t them or their kids.

even then they really do not, savage proves that
