“Trump did not criticize McCain the politician, he criticized his war hero status which was out of bounds, especially for a draft dodger.”

And stop calling Trump a draft dodger, as you are then calling the majority of men in this country that were not called up to serve or had student deferments, including the likes of Dick Cheney, draft dodgers. Not everyone serves in the military for a wide variety of reasons, nor could they if they wanted to, now that it is being downsized by this abominable Obama administration.

You use the words draft dodger as a pejorative to smear Trump further and take pleasure in doing so. Trump is being amazingly BRAVE by saying all the un-PC and truthful comments he has been publicly making that almost all of the other Pub candidates are remaining silent on. Trump went to a military academy, so he actually has more background on military life than many who have never served. If Trump would have joined the military, IMO he would have been like having another Patton. Similar qualities of leadership.

My one criticism of Cheney, he was a draft dodger and so was Trump. You can spin it anyway you want it, but that's what they were. The truth hurts and no one is perfect. I'm sure at least in Cheney's case, I would think if he had to do it over again, he would have done differently seeing how he lived the rest of his life. At least that's what I would like to believe. BTW, you are not a draft dodger if you were never called. It's when you actively attempt to avoid service (such as many, many student deferrments) that you are a draft dodger. Why do you think we have a bunch of ex hippy 70 year olds with doctorates? Because they stayed in school forever....
