Does he actually expect people to believe he’d have joined up if the Vietnam War was still going on?

It’s emotionally painful watching someone so dreadfully inexperienced, so unprepared, and just plain dumb trying to be our nation’s chief executive.

Funny... the man has written TWO memoirs, yet the “thought” of joining the military was NEVER mentioned, not once.

OK, let me see if I have this right. obammy WANTED to join the military, but because the was NO WAR, he decided against it? Do I have the gist of this?
I guess he didn't think that there would be enough "action" to whet his "organizing" skills eh?
Well, obammy, as a former member of Uncle Sam's Mountain Climbers, let me break some news to you: Your punk a$$ wouldn't have last one day at Parris Island - Dude...

Here’s something - Did he sign up for Selective Service? Something someone born in 1961 is required to do.
