Discussion: Duckworth Rips Trump Over Vietnam Comments: 'No One Believes' You Couldn't Serve

It is not bone spurs it is a yellow streak .
He talks of war and manly things but hides behind lawyers, body guards and now every law enforcement agency in our country.
He is the “Coward of Our Country”. May someone could make this into a song?

In normal times this would be devastating. But Trump has no shame, and his cultists don’t care either. There was this Vietnam vet with MIA/POW bumper stickers in car saying that regarding Trump it doesn’t matter what happened back then, It matters now. I am sure he gave the same benefit to Bill Clinton or John Kerry.

The President also claimed that the funding he’s provided to the military as commander-in-chief makes up for not serving.

Funding the military must be part of the president’s awesome Article XII powers.

"No one believes you were medically unfit to serve,” Duckworth tweeted.

Of course, everyone believes he’s medically unfit to serve now, as Commander-in-Chief.

“9 out of 10 military psychiatrists agree!”

If he was so opposed to the war -not a fan- why didn’t he join the marches and protests against it? BTW Trumpo, in 1968 we all knew where Vietnam was. Most of us had a family member over there or knew someone from the neighborhood who was there or classmates that ended up there. Many of us know people who died in Vietnam or have family members who died there. Don’t even at this late date make excuses for your own cowardice and then proclaim at the end of the interview you would’ve been honored to serve in the military. You didn’t serve and went to great lengths to not serve. I hate this man with every fiber of my being.

Not a fan of the Vietnam war? Highly doubtful.
You can rest assured that like many outer boroughs residents during Vietnam the Trump family was quite supportive of the war. They were certaintly more than ok with having working class kids from other neighborhoods bear the burden, a few miles away in Woodside and Sunnyside having the highest casualty rate of any zip code. Also considering they were in the construction industry they must have cheered on the May 1970 hardhat riots just a couple of weeks after Kent state.

The tenth military psychiatrist agrees, too. But, no need to rub it in.

Trump is despicable. “Making up for it”? Tell it the boys who dies serving so he could battle STDs in Manhattan. My god he’s sick.

Trump told “Good Morning Britain” host Piers Morgan on Wednesday that he “was never a fan” of the Vietnam War when Morgan asked if he wished he had served.

Vietnam was not some reality shit show with you as host cadet bone spurs. I and many others volunteered to serve but most were drafted. I knew of many who used their daddys connections to gain deferments and I detest them still. Others fled to Canada when their conscientious objector status was denied, I am ok with them.

But not dung beetles like you. GFY…
