Something I didn't know....Bruce Springsteen, your typical Trump-hating celebrity, was a draft dodger and admitted to his cowardly acts in order to avoid serving during Vietnam.

Springsteen then confessed that he carried out “everything in the draft-dodgers textbook. So, perhaps, I felt guilty about that later on. I had friends who went. I had friends who went and died. I had friends later on who were seriously hurt.” The Boss went on to say how it was a difficult journey to “come to terms with myself”, and he turned to music to clear his conscience.

And this, yellow-bellied piece of shite has the audacity to bad mouth our president, who will go down in history as the greatest president in modern history, while in the UK for a tour. As a veteran, I put this snake in the same category as Hanoi Jane. As far as I'm concerned, they're just taking up good oxygen.

His music always sucked and I hated it.
He is another chameleon. Pretending to be “the boss”, when his is just a pandering little puss.

that was pretty widely known, I can't stand his "politics," but in his defense almost every draft eligible kid, including Trump, was doing everything they could to not get drafted, hell Gregg Allman shot his two big toes off the night before his draft physical to avoid it

What the hell makes you a coward about not wanting to fight for a government?

We want smaller government? RIGHT?

I don't care for his politics, but I wouldn't have fought in that Deep State war either.

I realize that, that's why I said almost every kid was doing what they could to not get drafted, many enlisted, many did not try and resist/avoid, but a ton of young men did

I never understood why anybody liked his Cheesy arse music. Every song sounds like he is constipated and in need of some Ex Lax.

As a veteran myself, the only thing you wrote that I disagree with.

Jane Fonda is in a whole class by herself. It's one thing to bad mouth your country on foreign soil, and whole other thing to go an enemy country that we are at war with, and do a photo op sitting on anti-air weapons used to shoot and kill fellow Americans. How she avoided a treason charge is massive miscarriage of justice.

Yep, I know quite a few that enlisted. Logic was, enlist and you have choices. Drafted, not so much. My dad was drafted. He said when he arrived on the very first day, they lined all the guys up at attention, went down the line "Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines".

In what world would talking about dodging the draft come up in a live show?

And possibly a pedophile? At the very least, he’s a creep:

“Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire”

Was he better than the other kids that were drafted and forced to go to Nam?

Yeah, so what. He was right to do it.

America's first corporate, for profit foreign war remains the mother of them all, and good for the guys who managed to avoid that shite. Almost 60,000 American soldiers died in that war for no good fricking reason at all. Not one.

Draft dodging is draft dodging. It doesn’t matter if you come from a wealthy family and received five deferments, with the fifth because of "bone spurs" or you fled to Canada. Those without means sometimes packed up and left, those with means called their frickin' Daddies.

Not one single current American serviceman will go to war to protect his country. Instead, he'll go to war for defense contractors. He'll go to war because it's good for the economy. He'll go to war because it creates jobs. He'll go to war for GE, Halliburton, Northrop Grumman and all the rest of them.

My investment portfolio thanks them all for their service.

If or when we have another draft. Dodge the frick out of it.

Oh and on the second part. That's a troll, right?
