As someone who volunteered and served during that time and lost friends and relatives during the war I have no respect for chicken shit draft dodgers like Trump. Whether he said it or not makes no difference to me and will not change my opinion of the POS I think the same is true for most whether they support him or not....
@montanajoe I really don't give a Biden if someone was a draft-dodger or not. I DO know that I didn't want to be in VN and needing help have to call on someone who didn't want to be there.
Hell,in one respect I even admire them for standing up for what they believed,even if was they believed they were cowards. Who am I to argue with them over that? After all,who knows them better?
As for rich kids that got deferments,I don't give a Bush about them,either. IF they had gotten drafted and sent to VN,they would have became commissioned officers assigned to non-combat "keep busy and pull your tour" duty anyway,so from MY POV as an infantryman,they wouldn't have been "there" anyhow.
If you didn't WANT to be there,I didn't want you there and in a position where I needed your help and you failed to provide it. Do me and all the others on the front line a favor,and stay the hell home!
