Sarah Palin on Wednesday tied President Obama’s treatment of veterans to her son’s arrest on a domestic violence charge.

“I guess it’s kind of the elephant in the room because my own family going through what we’re going through today, with my son, a combat vet, having served in the striker brigade fighting for you all America in the war zone,” the 2008 vice presidential nominee said at a rally in Tulsa, Okla.

Palin continued, “But my son, like so many others, they come back a bit different. They come back hardened.”

“They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country,” she added.

The former Alaska governor’s son, Track, 26, was arrested late Tuesday on domestic violence and weapons charges. He is accused of hitting his girlfriend and possessing a weapon while intoxicated.
