Yeah. They are so courageous. I am sure they'd make great soldiers had they ever bothered to enlist.

Define "draft dodging".

The way I would define it, Trump would be a Canadian right now.

Going to college != dodging the draft.

I'm sorry, dude. The truth is, Trump took a pass.

The good news, I guess, is that there is nothing special about Trump expecting ordinary Americans to pay the price for D.C. prospects.

Who are your favourite Vietnam veteran politicians and why? John Kerry? Dingbat. John McCain? Dimwit. Colin Powell? WMD! Bob Kerrey? Gun grabber. Jim Webb? Cuckoo. Al Gore? Eco-Bolshevik. Leonard Boswell? Deep state sycophant. Mike Thompson? Gun grabber. Gray Davis? AWB super gun grabber. Chuck Hagel? Pathetically useless SECDEF.

Who else is there? That's the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Bill Clinton. Spending all those weeks on a mattress in a tree on campus protesting the war must have left him with some ptsd.

Oh, Jesse Ventura, he's probably the only one I like, mind you, bit of a wingnut of course, but at least he's not a Gun Grabber, Deep State Sycophant, nor Eco-Bolshevik.

Oh, another question; does an American politician have to have actually served in front line combat in Vietnam in order to play the Vietnam card, or is a Vietnam Service Medal good enough, even if a REMF?

Like, let's say that Donald Trump had gone to Vietnam, but managed to wrangle himself a cushy REMF job in Saigon for the whole tour, would he get a pass, or would he have to have been out in the tall grass with Bob Kerrey shooting up women and children in the villes in order to play the Vietnam card?

Because, bear in mind, less than 30% of personnel who served in Vietnam actually saw any combat when they were there, so there's Vietnam, and then there's Vietnam, do you make any distinction in terms of playing the Vietnam card for political gain?

Lame attempt at trolling. Super lame.
