Trump is Nixonian incarnate, Trump is the muse of Roger Stone, Roger Stone is the Nixonian svengali, whether or not Trump served in Vietnam is a canard, Nixon didn't land on Omaha Beach and he didn't charge up Hill 937 neither, Nixon was no more a warfighter than Trump was, and in fact, Trump is not nearly as duplicitous as Nixon, despite being his 21st century poltical proxy in the war between the Hardhats and the Hippies.
Nixon was in the rear with the gear, he was a transport control officer filling out manifests on a clipboard, in World War Two, I'm sure Trump could have found himself a REMF gig in World War Two as well, Neither Nixon nor Trump is Audie Murphy, but in the end, who cares? It's irrelevant to any issue, who did or did not serve in Vietnam, is the ultimate American ad hom fallacy, that's the chicken switch which Americans pull, when they're totally full of shit and looking for a canard to latch on to.
99% of Americans did not serve in combat in Vietnam, so if Americans are want to invoke this fallacy, then 99% of them can just sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up for the duration, and don't front like you're a republican neither, if you're going to invoke praetorianism.
2.5 million Americans served in Vietnam, but only about 20% of them were deployed for combat, so really it's 0.2% of the population, and in fact, the very people who now castigate Trump for not serving in Vietnam, were the one's at the time saying that it was every Americans duty to refuse to partake in this crime against the republic, so it's one standard for them, then another when it's Trump, who knew?
Liberals take deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam; "Heroes of the Republic!"
Trump does the same; "Nuclear Hitler!"
Never mind that Trump never fronts like he was a warfighter, and he shows nothing but deference to the warfighters, and most of the warfighters are with Trump, not the liberals.
Who is the poltician which the warfighters from Vietnam despise? Trump? Not in my experience, most of the grunts from Vietnam who've I've ever talked to about it, despise John Kerry, and John Kerry actually served in combat in Vietnam, but then he came home and threw the troops under the bus in front of congress and the whole world.
