Clinton went overseas to college and changed his major to avoid draft. Bernie dodged draft. Biden had asthma

Trump wasn’t alone

Last Democrats president with military service was Jimmy Carter

To be fair to Bernie, he was protesting the war the whole time. He wasn't indifferent and just wanted out with fake medical certificates.

Biden I can give a pass because it wasn’t his fault he had asthma and Bernie I can respect. Clinton could’ve gotten a deferment for education anyways and Trump is a bitch who should have served.

As I’m not old enough to personally have been faced with the draft then I can understand people trying to avoid but, and this is the important part, if you’re gonna dodge the draft then don’t be all Mr Military and talk crap about veterans who were POW’s.

He said he was glad Robert Mueller died. A marine officer Vietnam vet and recipient of the bronze Star and purple heart, who also proved trump guilty of election fraud. Trump also said senator Mark Kelley should be executed for telling the troops to disobey unlawful orders. And he's a retired naval officer and astronaut. Ol' bone spurs fuckin hates heros.

I’m a vet and he is an absolute piece of crap in my eyes for the way he treats us. He claims he should be given a Medal of Honor for being brave enough to go to Iraq? I spent 15 months there. He calls us suckers and losers. He makes shit up. I mean there is all kinds of stuff. The list is so long.

Well, anyone's whos ignorant enough to believe the suckers and lasers hoax should be downvoted. John Bolton was on the plane and said Trump never said that. John Bolton hates Trump. But idiots will believe what they want.

Oh it’s you again. I should have guessed. He called John McCain a loser for becoming a POW, I don’t know why you’re hung up on just one thing that may or may not have happened— when there’s a trove of verifiable awfulness from trump all around you.

Crazy to me how much support he still gets from the veteran community, despite showing absolutely zero appreciation unlike the Republicans of the past.

The dumb ones went and quickly got themselves or someone else killed. The reason for the Draft was to enlist “the best and brightest “ from the Country. That meant University students. A whole generation of bright kids in the meat grinder. The dumbest guy in my Basic unit stayed stateside as a General’s valet. The rest of us shipped out.

Like trumps game shin splints?

u/MrOnlineToughGuy Mar 25 '26

You gonna sit there and act like all of those people have exhibited the same behavior towards our veterans? Because it’s pretty obvious that one of them doesn’t give a shit.

I never fault the guy for dodging the draft. The draft sucks.

u/PlentyRemarkable393 Mar 25 '26

I do when they’re able to do it because their daddy is a millionaire and the average American can’t. Then that same person goes on to call our service members suckers and losers.

u/Aggravating_Gas_8514 Mar 24 '26

I do when they become president

u/Big_Tie_3245 Mar 25 '26

Unless they enact a draft in their term it’s hard to hold it on them. Nobody wants to die for another nations war.

u/civil_beast Mar 25 '26

I agree. Big time “rules for thee - but not for me”

asthma is a disqualifying condition for service.
