Wasn't Beau Biden's bravery in riding both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nukes to their targets enough for you?!??

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.

“Biden got 5 deferments during Vietnam for asthma. Yeah, tough guy, lifeguard, athlete.... asthma.” Don’t forget truck driver, and candidate for Naval Academy, etc.,etc.,etc,
Bonafide draft dodger Bill Clinton beat decorated veterans Bush and Dole, and I don’t recall either of them whining about it. Joey Five Deferments has no such standing at all.
“Trump has previously denied making the “suckers” remark, though it was later confirmed by his former chief of staff, John Kelly.”
Isn’t that the guy who hates Trump?
Yup
I lost my cousin to that fiasco... if he were still alive he would be about same age as Trump.
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.
Will they share Biden war stories?
Love it!
Well he’s certainly not dodging any battles now.
And they think Biden is fit, he didn’t serve in Vietnam either. Check out Trump’s draft records on why he was rejected. At this point who cares what happened, Clinton did not serve and went out of his way to find a way not to go.

Student deferrals, then a 1-Y for childhood asthma.
Totally agree.
Biden gives illegal aliens and their families preferential treatment over our Veterans when they need medical service.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate includes some people who wore uniforms.
So you didn’t volunteer but you did the things that would have left you eligible to be drafted if your number came up. Sometimes God has a hand in things too you know! I’ll bet your momma or somebody praised Jesus you didn’t have to go. We’ll all regret something to our death beds!
Hey you are a Proud American Freeper! That’s good thing!
