We’ve already seen some pretty awful Veterans Day tweets, but this one is disgusting in a different way:
In honor of Veterans Day, share how tech helped/complicated life while serving & get a free signed copy of my book! pic.twitter.com/3MU7UijrPL

“Gauche” is putting it politely.
Protip: Don't thank veterans on Veterans Day by promoting yourself. Bad form https://t.co/L6WSCdrsKB

@randizuckerberg shouldn't you try to help VETS instead of trying to promote your book?

I'd like to nominate @randizuckerberg for a Purple Heart who injured herself pandering to Vets. https://t.co/ksPXjHc7FU
