I understand your view, but there over 54,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians killed in Southeast Asia. Not all of them had the financial influence to receive a 4-F deferment. Marching against the war like Sanders or the Clintons, act of treason like Jane Fonda are to me no different than buying a 4-F deferment.
Ironically, I kept my own counsel, regarding Trump, for many months.
I have, however, see the incredible vitriol thrown at Trump supporters.
It is *not* their fault Ted is doing so poorly.
And personally, I would not beg you to spit on me, if I were on fire.
I don’t “beg” anyone, except God.
I have dear friends here who support Ted and I’m happy to oblige their choice.
I have yet to see them act like sanctimonious jerks about it.
I did change it from, "......what he put in his mouth" :D
I have replayed Gotham *3* times now, and still have no idea what happened.
I would like to actually watch it now, so be back later.
:)
Would’na mattered.
I’d have still grabbed it and ran.
:D
I just hope my son never becomes a politician. The second oldest profession.
Thought maybe you were. That face says it all! LOL
If my son, say, behaved like Donald Trump, and was the frontrunner for the GOP nomination for the office of President of the United States, I'd probably cut him some slack and be OK with it, because I'd know that his heart is in the right place and he love his country and only wants what's best for it...
I bet they’ve all dined together, at some time, some place.
I picture Trump's first PM SOTUS canceled to be and rescheduled for 7 AM the same day. Only the Congress is to attend. The speech starts out with a horrific scolding for allowing the National Debt to grow to $20 Trillion and for not restructuring the entitlement programs.
He then announces the immediate closing of dozens of agencies and massive layoffs of civil employees (I do feel for those employees). He then demands an audit of all welfare programs and demands the termination of duplicate programs. He then passes out his tax plan with a proposed schedule with the goal to have it passed by June 1, 2017. He then announces the building of the wall to begin on federally owned land starting February 1, 2017.
He then demands a 100 page balanced budget ASAP.
He then introduces his liaisons who will meet daily with the Congressional leaders.
He then shakes everyones’ hands and departs.
Total whiny wuss, that face.
:D
“Actually dear friend, Mr Trump received 4 (that’s right,four) deferments. He was eventually classified as 1-A, took his induction physical, and reclassified as 4-F (medically unfit)”
Trump’s deferments were four successive 2-S student deferments, which every college student could receive. It was the most common deferment during the Vietnam war and could be renewed as long as you were in school. Four deferments was typical.
When Trump graduated in 1968 he was reclassified 1-A, then 1-Y, where he remained until 1972. 1-Y means you are suitable for callup in a national emergency.
When Trump went through the draft lottery he received 356, high enough that short of a major war he wasn’t going to receive a notice.
Yeah! We can’t have a leader who is an adulterer... and a murderer, you know, like King David.
Or Saul, of Tarsus...
Bathsheba?
When Gingrich got replaced a step or two later by Denny Hastert, who got removed for structuring what were rumored to be hush money payments to a teenage *boy* he molested?
What message were you sending when, after letting Clinton skate, you allowed your GOP nominee to be shoo'ed off the stage with manufactured outrage over "binders full of women"?
What message were you sending when you bent over for eight years to a rumored closeted homosexual Muslim whose initiation to the Chicago machine was at the hands of a person who admitted he had bombed US citizens, who attended a church whose preacher shouted "God Damn America!" from the pulpit, and when you didn't hound the Dem front-runner out of office for allowing above-top-secret materials to be handled on an openly explicitly illegal private server to the point that a teenaged Bulgarian hacker found them?
Sod OFF, swampy.
For me the $20 Trillion National Debt and tens of billions of unfunded liabilities is a great threat to our future and I don't trust career politicians and the establishment to solve those problems. They have not to date. Paul Ryan is a huge disappointment. If that is the best we can do, we are pretty much dead as a world power.
And then some! :>)
Yep, we can’t have immoral leaders like those people.
