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.

Joe Biden was right out there on the front lines during the Viet Nam conflict, spraying his M-60 machine gun at the Viet Cong.
Oh. Didn’t happen? That was because he was shuttling 18-wheeler trucks back and forth across the length of the United States, while laying over in Puerto Rican households, before he made the return trips.
Hey, there is only so much anybody can cram into even a fake résumé.
Good,
Draft the freaks & let them become cannon fodder for the big Russia, China, Iran/North Korea War that’s being planned.
They’ve been put on a special pedestal...... now they can “die for country.”
Biden had veterans removed from housing to make room for illegals...What an outstanding guy!!!!!
Unlike Biden, who enlisted, Became Airborne Ranger Special Forces S.E.A.L. Marine Recon Air Commando; And after winning the Medal of Honor, was promoted to five star general.
As President Trump fought for and won a huge increase in military supplies. As President, Biden abandoned most of them in Afghanistan for pure political gain.
I took a train from NIU, downtown Chi, stripped for the physical, and all the rest.
The crack medical team stamped my papers with an undescended testicle that actually belonged to the guy standing next to me. Rejected. 4-F , iirc.
I didn’t figure it out for several months when visiting the university health center.
While there I asked what’s an undescended testicle ? Why, asked the doc, you don’t have one.
Vietnam was in the headlines.....I didn’t go back to correct their mistake and can’t say I regret it.
Yeah, you don’t mind that your guy climbed into the shower with his daughter, I don’t mind that my guy avoided going to Vietnam. Pretty sure my guy wins in the morals comparison.
You want a Veteran for VEEP?
Then my choice would be General Flynn, not some dang JAG Officer (AKA: Jag Off).
Agree.
“A good commander in chief is somebody who gives a s‑‑‑,” Register said to open the video.
Does looking at your wrist watch as the coffins of soldiers you are responsible for killing count as giving a sh!t?
Asking for a friend.....
“Trump has previously denied making the “suckers” remark, though it was later confirmed by his former chief of staff, John Kelly.” -— The near-opposite of truth. John Kelly said Trump never said the “suckers” comment.
I’ve read about the specifics for years and your description is inaccurate.
Trump also threw a one million dollar party for the VN veterans in NYC. I doubt that Biden “gave at the office” even if his son Beau did win the Battle of Midway.
And John Bolton- no friend of Trumps—verified HE DIDNT SAY THIS at all. Nothing of the sort.
There were 26 people in the room Trump supposedly said the “suckers” and “losers” comments other than Trump. So far, 24 of them have publicly stated that was not said and 2 said it was. I’d believe the 24.
The attack of a “draft dodger” is a HORRIFICALLY bad take for Joe.
He was “diagnosed” with a condition that would not let him serve. He turned down service 6 times. Yet, the entire time, HE PLAYED FOOTBALL. How do you play football if you’re physically unable to be a soldier?
Wow. They literally just don’t care about truth and fact.
How many pieces of DNC silver?
Biden got his deferrals because of college and asthma. Asthma that kept him from playing all that football he’s so proud of.
