Understand. Katieanna was only trying to be a public service /s. Her addendum to the OP/link:

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!

There is a difference between highlighting "right and wrong" so everyone can "just know and be aware" and using a a draft-dodger tag to do it.

The OP was posted under News/Activism - clearly not to me. There is a difference between ardent support and irrational agitation - to me, this ploy of a thread is clearly agitation and devious. It is TDS Drive-by trash, IMO

Gaffer, I’ve been a member on FR a long time and rarely post as you can see. I have logged in of late because it is election season. I have no intent to upset anyone on here. Not you, not anybody. My perspective is that these men want something from us. They want us to put them in a position over us. The article is not a slap at you at all.

To Jim, hello. If FR does not allow postings from this paper, pull it as I wasn’t aware. Have a nice day.

While I agree the title is inflammatory, It isn't the first to be hyperbolic or misleading, and some on this forum have even touted 'facts' which are not. From a general head count of those, the ones attacking Trump are in the minority.

I would think all here are mature enough to see through the hyperbole of the title and assess the article for what facts are present.

It would be difficult to post the statements made without posting the title, and I, personally, think those statements are important.

I am not a veteran, but most of my friends are. They would be singularly offended by the suggestion that there was a valid comparison between bedhopping and service in any branch of the military, in any capacity, especially equating licentious activities with service in Vietnam.
