I am a Vietnam Veteran, having served one year with the 4th Division in the central highlands. Please do NOT tell me "Thank you for your service," and then turn around and support a draft dodging coward, who refers to me as a "sucker and loser" for serving!

Powerful statement.
How amy military family, veteran or service men can support Trump is beyond human understanding.

I am a Vietnam Veteran, having served two years in the Delta along the Mekong River. Please do NOT tell me "Thank you for your service," and then turn around and support a puppet who forced good men and women out of the military because they chose to not receive an experimental vaccine.

I think that alleged Trump quote was never said by him. And please no "bone spurs" crap.

You are so right tshade. I think I kinda saw you go from someone who identified as conservstive to someone who actually saw how conservatism isn't the same as it used to be and now you might be considered a rino because you take exception with someone who would dare to put you guys down.

I know many Nam vets. I have deep respect for you. You guys fought a war no one could ever imagine. I flat out don't undertand how any retired military person could ever support him, it's sickening. 🙏

Maga told you it was experimental did they?
Stupid post

It was said (it is documented) and why do you want to bury his draft dodger status?

He had a legitimate disqualifying condition. He wasn't the only person disqualified from the draft.

People are still dying, but that's not the point.

I'm surprised you didn't get the point.

I’ll tell anyone I feel like telling thank you for your service and I’ll vote for anyone I feel like voting for.

When you entered the service tell us how many vaccines were pumped into you without question before heading to Nam. Hell, it was ALL experimental. Stop making today's vets sound like woosies............give us a break. Anyone who left the service because of the COVID vaccine DESERVES to leave the military. Good grief man...

Why not?

He did avoid the draft by getting a doctor to write some crap about "bone spurs" that prevented him from serving (but not from skiing).

So, if you don't like being reminded of this, don't support him.

Great catch.

If the poster did serve, he knows damn well he was "pumped" full of vaccines.
 

Thanks!

Former President Trump didn't want to visit a cemetery near Paris for Americans who fought and died in World War I because it was filled with "suckers" and "losers," John Kelly, his longest-serving chief of staff, said in a statement to CNN on Monday.

Why it matters: In the statement, Kelly supported this and several other instances of Trump disparaging service members that were reported by The Atlantic in 2020 and vehemently denied at the time by the Republican 2024 presidential front-runner....

The big picture: Other instances in the statement from Kelly, whose Marine son, Robert Kelly, was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, that appeared to confirm the report were:

Trump saying at a 2017 Memorial Day event in Arlington National Cemetery: "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"

Kelly said Trump did not want to include military amputees at a White House military event in 2018 because it would make spectator's uncomfortable, and added that Trump had said their presence "doesn't look good for me."

Kelly also noted that Trump in 2016 publicly belittled the parents of Humayun Khan, an Army captain and Gold Star recipient who was killed in Iraq in 2004, after they criticized him for his anti-Muslim rhetoric.

And he condemned Trump for accusing retiring Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley last month of treason and suggesting that the punishment for such an act would have once been death....
 
Don't need to - it's false, believe it or not. I'm done.
@tshade just proved that it's true.

If you're worried that your faith in trump will be shaken by finding out the draft-avoider did, indeed, refer to those who served in our country's military as "suckers" and "losers", you won't read the excerpt from axios. You'll run away from this thread.

But if your support for trump is strong enough to face up to the unpleasant, the unsavory things he's said and done, you'll be able to accept the truth presented herein.

Wrong.

The immunizations I received had been in use for decades. They were not experimental.

Today's vets are not woosies.

Nobody left the service because of the covid vaccine. They were forced from service by the Biden pukes.

Nope.
