The question of why veterans would vote for President Trump is a no-brainer (“How can veterans support Trump?” Aug. 26, TribLIVE). I spent my service years to support things I learned in my adolescent years.

1. We must protect our Constitution written by our great founders.

2. We must protect the most important amendment — the Second — to ensure the ability to protect the others.

3. We must ensure we are able to continue the First Amendment, which I am using now.

4. All lives matter, including those not “officially” born yet.

5. Diversity and immigration are good, but laws specifying how to attain citizenship legally.

6. We may not like some of Trump’s actions, but the alternative is unacceptable. He was elected to a position we need to show respect for.

7. Illegal applies to all actions not accepted by us as legal and should be stopped and punished.

I may not be voting for Trump but will definitely oppose a candidate who I see as a socialist.
