re: Why does the left always give DJT hell for draft dodging Vietnam?

a cornerstone of the gops campaign against kerry was the swift boat "yeah sure he went to vietnam but he was a pussy"
cant comment on how i would have handled it. was an infant during vietnam, never faced a draft. my dad said his dad, who served several years in ww2, told him to do whatever it took not to go, said war is hell. he had just finished medical school and wound up working for the navy in boston in some capacity evaluating returning soldiers. got canned for denying some high ranking officer demanding full disability for what amounted to a broken wrist.
wound up getting reinstated on the senate floor by i think jim sasser from tennessee
id never criticize anyone who served, and im reluctant to do same to those that figured out a way to not go. its a little easier to mock the wealthy fortunate sons who didn't. and anyone from that era wo didn't serveand runs for office should be prepared to face tough questions

Because it's Trump and they will find anything they can to obsess over and criticize him for.

The only one of the last five presidents who served in the military was George W. Bush. Yet, Dan Rather and 60 Minutes ran a hit piece during the 2004 election attacking him for allegedly pulling favors to get into the National Guard. As always the media ran with negative story about a Republican that was not verified and later debunked. Rather an the producer Mary Mapes got humiliated, but mission accomplished they aired a hit piece on the Republican candidate for president. Contrast that with how hard the media fought the Hunter Biden laptop story.

I'll bet Ali's legacy will hold up better in history than Trumps.

I never learned about Ali in school, but I did about every president. Why are you liberals retarded?

Insert anything these morons can come up with above

But he DID pull favors to get in the National Guard. Lots of people pulled favors to do so---that's no secret. But you have to hand it to Bush. While serving in the Alabama National Guard, not one Viet Cong invaded the state!

Remind me when Obama, Hillary, Biden or Harris served.

well obama turned 18 in 1977 and would have missed the vietnam draft
don't think they ever drafted women so hillary and kamala are off the hook
biden likely went the same fortunate son route as trump to avoid service so frick him

That's easy, because you have brave Americans like Richard Blumenthal and Bill Clinton who went to war when they were called upon and fought for this great nation....

Fighting any war (unless fending off an invasion) is dumb.

Great way to end up dead or badly maimed just for a lousy pension and worse healthcare.

When I was a recruiter I’d have ppl like you hang up and say my kid is too good for that. What’s the difference? Again it’s a voluntary military and usually filled by the same families with generations serving.
