To: caveat emptor

Well everyone else will see my point if they’ve read your own posts, but I’ll make it more explicit just for you. Here’s a couple of your posts:

“LOL. He missed his chance to be “Pattonesque” during the Vietnam war.””

“You dishonor George Patton with your comparison. Patton would likely have slapped (or pistol whipped) a guy with four student deferments plus medical deferment (heel spurs) of a former star athlete for avoiding military service during war time. “

Since that’s your line of criticism let’s hear your story. Did you ever have a 2S deferment? 1Y? Were you drafted? What was your lottery number?

Your line about Patton pistol whipping anyone is the sort of juvenile hyperbole I’d expect from someone whose closest association with the military is watching movies.

I can’t let this slur on Patton go by.

He would not have slapped any male who had NOT taken an oath to protect the U.S. and failed to do so.

Trump—When you take office—Jaunary 21, 2017, pardon General Petraeus, put him in charge of the AEF (American Expedition Force) and with Russia and China, crush ISIS.
