Political and personal rancor aside: this is something every American should be aware of. Remember who we are and what is right and wrong. Be blessed everyone and make it a lovely day!

Hey!

Looky here! A scummy Trump hit piece!

This one’s not only full of lies (as usual), but feels the need to go back to a nineteen year old interview to try to find something to smear the guy with.

PATHETIC LOSERS.

APRIL 28--Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country, The Smoking Gun has learned.

During a TV interview Tuesday morning, Trump--who spent his high school years enrolled at the New York Military Academy--said, “I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number. I’ll never forget, that was an amazing period of time in my life.”

He went on to recall, “I was going to the Wharton School of Finance, and I was watching as they did the draft numbers and I got a very, very high number and those numbers never got up to.” The word “deferment” was not mentioned by Trump during his chat with the morning show hosts on WNYW, the Fox affiliate in New York City.

Quoted from the Smoking Gun.....

Idiots are desperate folks, anything someone says on Howards show is for laughs, get real.

How about yesterday when Graham was at a Bush rally and asked for democrats to taise their hands, yes you guessed it Bush raised his hand

So sleeping around is like serving in Vietnam? What a whack job.

Everyone knows he has a deformed character, but that doesn’t matter to many voters. The nation would continue to descend into moral depravity under his leadership, and we will be punished. God is not mocked, no matter how rich an unrepentant sinner is.

It’s Howard Stern. It’s crude humor, but it’s humor.

I’m sure the 41,000 Americans killed in action in Vietnam wish they had 1% of the life Trump was granted.

Look, I know this was 20 years ago. Fine. He is in a radio interview trying to be relevant and cool...but still, an unadvised comment.

I still am undecided.

All of the candidates are flawed....sigh... :)

YOU want me to care what Trump may or may not have said 20 years ago.....
......well I don’t, because I heard him admit recently to a level of guilt that he was deferred and ..
.....and I hear him daily trying to redress this....every ...single...day!
...to bring attention, dignity and help to our wounded veterans...
...and restore our military to preeminence!!

daily ....24/7 ..I see him taking ‘hits’ from people like you...
...while he is out there working his heart out .....and this for 8 months & 9 more months to go!

Trump was just protecting the squirrel living on his head by staying out of Nam.

We don’t need no President whose history is “sleeping around.” starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and William J. Clinton, of the same ilk. Loved by liberals, hated by God-fearing conservatives.

"1 out of 16 baby boomer males saw combat in Vietnam. For every baby boomer killed in combat in Vietnam, 10 committed a felony to avoid the draft. Was that generation against war or against personal participation? 80% of them supported the Gulf War."

Trump had deferments. That means he was not a draft dodger. Deferments were legal designations from the government that deferred the date of eligibility or the draft status of an otherwise eligible citizen.

I joined in 1970 and lived through the Vietnam Era. I lost a same age uncle in that war. I know that our government early on stopped trying to win, tied their troop’s hands with unrealistic objectives and ROEs.

It caused a huge rejection of the moral authority of the government even to be waging that war. They got tens of thousands killed on an adventure that they weren’t even trying to win. Our troops were the cannon fodder of politicians.

I have no hard feelings toward anyone who side-stepped that war any way they could find. The draft dodgers who fled the US are not in my sights at all. Nor are those who had deferments or who joined the national guard or reserve, or who went active duty so they could pick their own job speciality and location of assignment.

The government did NOT deserve to be supported at that time with their damn war. The same as Iraq/Afghan. Our leaders have prosecuted our troops for attacking the enemy, they have tied their hands so they can’t even defend themselves except under the most dangerous circumstances, they have no strategy to win, and they are distant and uninvolved.

But our troops are honorable.

The have been led by politicians who are charlatans, crooks, and liars.

Very disgusting for those of us who either are veterans or who have relatives that are veterans.
