Three veterans slammed former President Trump as a “draft dodger” and argued he is unfit to be commander in chief in a new video from President Biden’s reelection campaign unveiled Thursday, marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Marine Corps veteran Curtis Register, Army veteran Ed McCabe and Navy veteran Matthew McLaughlin participated in the minutelong video, which was intended to “highlight the stark contrast between Donald Trump, who criticizes veterans and has refused to take accountability or attend military funerals, and President Biden, who stands with our troops abroad and takes care of them at home,” according to the Biden campaign.
“A good commander in chief is somebody who gives a s‑‑‑,” Register said to open the video.
“Donald Trump has zero accountability in his life,” McLaughlin said.
McCabe added, “He’s a draft dodger, simple as that.”
The campaign highlighted that Trump reportedly referred to American veterans buried in France as “losers” and “suckers” and mocked then-Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was a prisoner in the Vietnam War. Trump has previously denied making the “suckers” remark, though it was later confirmed by his former chief of staff, John Kelly.
“From draft dodging to promising to take away veterans’ hard-earned benefits to repeating the rhetoric of dictators, it’s clear that Donald Trump doesn’t care about those who have bravely served our country. He doesn’t understand their sacrifice or the values they vowed to protect,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) said in a statement.
Duckworth is a retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and a member of the Biden campaign’s national advisory board.

People who live in glass houses...
Waiting for Col. Biden’s war stories.
Hmmm I must’ve missed Biden’s military service.
I think history has proven the draft dodgers correct. Vietnam was a waste.
As I recall,didn't Traitor Joe use a series of excuses to avoid the draft?
What's the guess on how long it will be before Joe will be claiming to have been in the first wave to hit the beach on D-Day?
I thought this issue was put to rest after Clinton got elected.
3 sellout jerks.
His uncle was eaten by cannibals.
That pretty much rules out Joe Biden.
“Donald Trump has zero accountability in his life,”
Donald Trump held more than one "real job" in his life. That comes with accountability. You want "no accountability"? Have a look at lifetime politician Joe Biden.
“He’s a draft dodger, simple as that.”
From Wikihahahahapedia:While studying at the University of Delaware and Syracuse University, Biden obtained five student draft deferments at a time when most draftees were sent to the war. Based on a physical examination, he was given a conditional medical deferment in 1968; in 2008, a spokesperson for Biden said his having had "asthma as a teenager" was the reason for the deferment.
Ain't that special? Pot. Kettle. Black.
I don’t remember Trump
checking his watch....
Three trash veterans, siding with the forces killing the nation.
Biden loves our veterans so much he plans to make a whole lot more of them in Ukraine.
He flew 1024 combat missions in B36 Fighters in the Peloponnesian War for the Tibetan Navy.
Those unfit to be commander in chief are the ones that waste defense money on pronoun classes and recruiting men pretending to be women.
What say you retired idiots?
“Donald Trump, who criticizes veterans and has refused to take accountability or attend military funerals,”
as usual they are trying to rewrite who cares about Vets and who does not.
Biden needed to find a few idiots to go along with his lil video
From USA Today, Sept, 2020:
Biden received five student draft deferments, first as an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University.
And after a medical exam in April 1968, he received the “1-Y” classification, which meant he could only be drafted in a national emergency.
Biden released his Selective Service records to the Associated Press in 2008. At the time, a spokesperson said he was “disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager,” per The News Journal.
