Iraq War veteran and wounded warrior J.R. Salzman has been a vocal critic of President Obama’s handling of the situation in Iraq so far:

A Twitter user with a bio claiming he’s a veteran, Hillary 2016 supporter and wants people to “get covered” made this vile remark:

@jrsalzman you got your arm blown off cause of #BushCheneyLies
Iraq not our problem, If you had done your job you would still have your arm

What a horrible, disrespectful thing to say.

The remark sparked support for Salzman and anger toward the tweeter:

@jrsalzman @mikeejoe It takes a really shallow a-hole to have that opinion.

@jrsalzman @mikeejoe I can tell you right now he doesn't represent Texas. Thank you for your service.

@jrsalzman @mikeejoe I've seen some very wrong crap in here. This is the first to bring me to report abusive behavior

@jrsalzman @Chris_1791 @mikeejoe It's easy for him to be an asshole from the security of his Mommy's basement. Unreal.

@jrsalzman Honestly this guy is a complete waste of your time. He's a lie. His only goal is to satisfy himself by riling up true men ofhonor
