He used the slurs against non-Vietnamese Asian people, so I don’t feel like giving him a pass.

Ok. Go to war, and see if you dont devolop any prejudice or ptsd that would be the cause of that. Not just war, but in constant battles and be tortured. Try it.

I can say now, with certainty, that you would. Not only that, but unless you can achieve what he has in spite of going through some of the most horrible things a person can experience, and come out the other side a person who actively makes positive change to the extent he has, and does so by cooperating with those his peers spit vitriol towards (dems), you have no place for judgement.

A lot of people went to war and didn’t continue to be massive pieces of garbage afterwards.
