This Iraq War Vet’s Tweet Really Puts The Iran Nuke Deal in Perspective
There’s been all sorts of political pundits commenting on the Iranian nuke deal announced yesterday. But sometimes the best commentary is made through just an image that is worth much more than a thousand words.
Here’s a good example:
This shrapnel is from my amputated arm & came from the Iranian IED that almost killed me. Should I mail it back now? pic.twitter.com/tT80mdd8HI

J.R. Salzman is an Iraq War veteran that suffered an amputation because of an improvised explosive device while serving his country. And there are tens of thousands like him that suffered similar wounds because of the Iranian regime that aided the insurgents in Iraq.
Wow. The Obama crowd was scolding me for not being grateful for the Iran deal that removed sanctions from the country that tried to kill me.

The picture really brings into focus the insanity of the nuke deal that we’ve made with the foremost sponsors of terrorism in the world. Because of this deal, the Iranian regime which happily helped maim and kill U.S. soldiers for a decade will get billions of dollars and have crippling sanctions ended.
And what do we get in return? Obama gets to smugly add this to his “legacy.” And the world will reap the horrors of such a historic mistake made from Obama’s arrogance.
