Sarah Palin linked her son’s domestic violence arrest to President Obama’s treatment of veterans, the Huffington Post reports.

Said Palin: “My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different. They come back hardened, they come back wondering if there’s that respect for what it is their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military have so sacrificially given to this country.”

She added that she can “relate with other families who can feel these ramifications of PTSD and some of the woundedness our soldiers do return with.”
