Eh...commanding a platoon in Vietnam would have given him real military experience along with a whole lot of credibility. Just my opinion but I think if he and his sons all had some time deployed with the military it would make a world of difference in terms of how many people viewed him.
I was only commenting on another poster's claim that Trump knew nothing about the military, which is not true if he spent 5 years as a buttoned-down cadet at a military academy.
He knows enough to relate to the military personnel and not be completely ignorant about what they do for the country.
From what I have read, the military loves this guy as their CIC after the disaster with Obama's queering down of the military.
