‘Our veterans have served the nation proudly. In many cases they were gravely wounded during their service and now will require a lifetime of medical support. Every one of them deserves better.’
Former Pentagon Spokesman J.D. Gordon, left, says the suspected terrorists being held at U.S. military facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are provided with better medical care than America’s veterans.
A former Defense Department spokesman is calling out the Obama administration for giving terrorists better medical treatment than its giving the nation’s veterans.
In an opinion piece on FoxNews.com today, Defense Department alumni J.D. Gordon claims, ‘Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo treated better than our vets.’
‘Yes, it’s true. I know because I served as a Pentagon spokesman from 2005-2009 and visited Guantanamo Bay Naval Base over 30 times during those years,’ he writes.
Gordon is a retired Navy commander who served as a Defense Department spokesman under both presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
After departing the Pentagon, he entered the realm of politics. In 2012 he served as an adviser to pizza magnate Herman Cain’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
He is now a national security and foreign policy commentator and a Senior Fellow and Communications Adviser to several right-leaning organizations in Washington, D.C. He is also the Executive Director of a national security-based conservative political action committee called Protect America Today that he helped found in 2012.
