It is typical of many on the left to denounce the horrible Vietnam war, rewrite its history, praise anyone who protested it, and denounce anyone in leadership who contributed to it — while employing a double standard by accusing those that oppose them of being “draft dodgers.” Creepy John Kerry went further, shaming the men he served with and our country in general, claiming that atrocities he described were “not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...”

In other words, even if Trump had served, he would have been guilty of war crimes.

“He got student deferments, allowing him to complete his education, and was later disqualified for medical reasons; by the time his number came up, he wasn’t required to serve.”

I knew quite a few people from that era and nobody “wanted” to be drafted to Vietnam.

More leftist BS. No one cares about this issue anymore unless the guy was heading to Canada to avoid service. Military service also does not automatically make one a virtuous candidate. Rep Patrick Murphy was an Iraq vet who was caught cheating near the end of his failed ‘10 reelection.

Sounds a lot more honorable that receiving a Purple Heart for a surface wound and using that an excuse to leave (John Kerry).

Maybe The Smoking Gun can find 0bama’s Selective Service records. Maybe they’ll find his college records.

There are so many things wrong with Trump that this is fairly trivial. However, I cant imagine how he could possibly be CIC..

I think military experience is invaluable but unfortunately today's crop of candidates for the most part lack that outstanding trait...

I applaud anyone who had a way to avoid going to a cesspool war called Vietnam. This was a blatant attempt to destroy the lives of 55,000 + lives of Americans for no sane reason.

Similar to those on the left, it appears Trump-eteers also like to apply double standards.

I think America needs to see Trump's medical deferment papers.

Cough them up Donald.

If Trump had actually served in Vietnam, he would have been called a BABY KILLER and a CHICKEN HAWK and all the other liberal fascist names they came up with back then.
If he had served our country with honor, he most likely would have a different life path than the one he has now.
He might not be a famous real estate tycoon, where the drive by media already knows everything about him.
There would be presstitutes searching through his past, and his garbage, trying to dig up dirt on him because he has the audacity to challenge these bustards. Ask Joe the Plumber.

My brother VOLUNTEERED for the ARMY during Vietnam. He served with honor and is now a very productive citizen with a family and the American dream.

IMHO he is more qualified to be POTUS than anybody I know.
There isn't one person in DC that is qualified to tie his shoes.
