Can’t candidates see bright side?

I am a Vietnam War veteran. I served my country in a time of war. Like all wars, it was terrible. I did my duty, not that I really wanted to, but my country wanted me to. The sacrifices that veterans make are many. It’s a special person who serves his or her country.
Now that it is the highly political time again I hear all these ads that seem to just dwell on the negative side of things. To say the things they say about their opponent is just plain unreal. It’s almost like they are promoting fear. Almost like the fear we veterans had in our time of war. Whatever happened to the positive words and thoughts that this great country was founded on? Nobody is going to please us all, but how about trying to do it honorably?
